Libertad Hooks
Chapter 13
Students decorated paper t-shirts and wrote messages on each others' shirts, just as Dionisio and his friends did with his souvenir t-shirt before he left Guantanamo Bay military base. I set this up by bringing a couple t-shirts from past Central American mission trips that students had signed. We talked (in Spanish) about whether they had ever signed each other's t-shirts to commemorate an event.
I gave them a paper with a t-shirt outline and asked them to make a small drawing on it to represent Spanish class. Then they walked around asking each other, "firma mi camiseta, por favor."
Besides being able to front-load some vocab, such as camiseta, it created lots of positive vibes and a connection to Dionisio's emotions in this chapter.
I had originally thought of asking them to bring a t-shirt from home and turning it into a Spanish class souvenir, but the paper t-shirts actually turned out to be a lot of fun.
