Please work in groups and read the following article from a 1995 edition of People
magazine out loud. Take turns reading paragraph by paragraph.
(If the above link doesn't work, try here).
Next, let's review the standards stamp sheet
for this week's movie. You will be assessed on your ability to perform each
standard and the stamp sheet will be collected for a grade at the end of the
week. The paper stamp sheet will be
collected!
Each day be prepared to work with your group
at the beginning of class to review your progress on your stamp sheet and
discuss questions relating to the film.
At the end of the week we'll be completing
mini-research projects on Selena and sharing them with our group members, as
well as taking a quiz on the film.

SPANISH 2 - La Misma Luna
Esta semana vamos a ver una película que se
llama La Misma Luna. La película se
trata de (deals with) un chico, Carlitos, que vive en México y está separado de
su madre, Rosario, que vive en Los Angeles. Él sale en un viaje grande para buscar su madre en "el otro lado" de la frontera (on the other side of the border).
The standards for this week's movie and
associated project can be found here.
The paper copy of your stamp sheet will be turned in at the end of the
week, so please don't lose it! Note that
some of the standards require you to take notes on the film, and to write down
at least three specific Spanish quotes that reveal the motivations or
personalities of major characters.
The main focus of this project is to be able
to analyze and discuss the characters (personajes
en español) and the plot in Spanish, as well as discuss the feelings and
motivations of individual characters. We will also be considering differing
perspectives between the United States and Mexico and individuals in each
country view outsiders and themselves, as well as the effect of immigration policies in the lives of individuals and families. The purpose of the film is not to make
any particular point about immigration policy, but rather to explore the
various personal impacts that immigration laws have in the lives of many thousands of
people in the United States.
Before watching the movie, consider the
following question and discuss it with your group:
What would you do if you had a child and could only support
him/her by working in a foreign country. Would you do it? Why or why not?
Each day be prepared to work with your group
at the beginning of class to review your progress on your stamp sheet and
discuss questions relating to the film.
We will be taking a quiz and completing
mini-character profiles during the second half of the week after we finish watching the film.
This projects will be shared with your equipo and possibly with the whole class!

La Misma Luna Mini-Projects
Choose ONE of the two options below and create
a presentation using Keynote, Prezi or Haiku Deck (or a piece of paper):
1)
Create a dialogue between at least two characters from La Misma Luna. The scene should take
place after the film ends (the same day, a year later, etc.) and should be
based in part on what we know about the characters. Consider the following
questions:
- Do Rosario and Carlitos decide to stay in
the United States? Why or why not?
- Do Rosario and Paco end up getting married
after all? Why or why not?
- What happens to Enrique?
- What does Alicia (Rosario's friend) do?
Your written dialogue should have at least ten lines and be
accompanied by some sort of visual aide.
2) Research the current state of
immigration in the United States. There has been a big push within the last
year to reform immigration laws and create a path to citizenship for illegal
immigrants who are already in the country. Consider the following options:
- Create a report using some current
statistics relating to illegal immigration in the U.S. (cite your sources!)
- State your opinion as to what the best
option for immigration reform is and the details of your solution
- Quote current political leaders on the topic of illegal immigration
- If you take a stance, what would someone on the other side of the
argument probably say? How would you refute him or her?
This research project should be short and concise! You do not need
to write an essay, but simply share some important statistics, quotes and
opinions relating to the topic of illegal immigration in the United States.
