Hispanic Heritage Month Assignment - Spanish II - Mr. Carey

In celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, your assignment (to be done individually) is to selecta Hispanic figure, from either the past or the present, conduct biographical research on the person you’ve chosen, & organize your research into a presentation.

You may choose any person from any of the following categories, as long as they are Hispanic (from a Spanish-speaking country). Here are some categories to choose from:

  • Famous athletes (soccer, baseball, basketball, golf, tennis etc.)
  • Actors and actresses
  • Political figures (independence movements, colonization of the Americas)
  • Artists (Painters, sculptors, writers, etc.)
  • Musicians & Singers

Areas of your figure’s life that must cover in your presentation include the following:

  • Knowledge and familiarity with chosen figure’s early childhood, education, and personal life
  • Knowledge of chosen figure’s career highlights, awards, achievements/accomplishments
  • Knowledge of chosen figure’s home country (climate/geography, population, religion, politics, etc.)
  • Reflection upon why you chose this figure & what you found most interesting/surprising about them

You will then give a 5 minute oral presentation (in English), thoroughly outlining all of the aforementioned aspects of your chosen figure’s life/career. Be sure to include at least 3 photos/images per slide to give the rest of the class a clear idea of who the person you’ve chosen actually is/was. Have your figure chosen by Friday, September 1st. The presentation itself is due by the morning of Thursday, Sept. 14th, 2016 (A) Friday, Sept. 15th (B) and be ready to present in-class that very same day.

For 10% extra, you may conduct a dramatic re-enactment highlighting an important moment in your chosen figure’s life. The re-enactment must be at least 1 minute 30 seconds in duration and be scripted. Students must provide a copy of the script, written in English. Example re-enactments include the following (Hernan Cortes’ “discovery of the Americas” [act out the arrival of the Spanish conquistadores to the Americas or perhaps a scene from the life of Frida Kahlo [the bus crash that left her disabled, the making of one of her more famous paintings, her international journey to America or Europe)].
