The session started with a warm-up question: “What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear or see the words Hispanic Heritage?” Students shared their ideas, which helped us connect their personal thoughts with the topic.
After this, we watched a short video about Hispanic Heritage. The video gave students a clearer idea of its meaning and importance. Right after, we exchanged questions and answers, since each student came from different countries. This was a great moment for cultural sharing, as learners compared experiences and traditions from their own backgrounds.
Next, we read a short text that explained the concept of Hispanic Heritage and highlighted its role in celebrating culture, history, and diversity.
For the practical activity, students worked on a word search (sopa de letras). They had to find key words related to Hispanic Heritage, such as culture, music, tradition, food, family, and more. This activity reinforced vocabulary in a fun way.
Later, we explored some fun facts about Hispanic Heritage. These interesting details gave students new perspectives and helped them appreciate the richness of Hispanic culture even more.
Finally, the session closed with a reflection and conclusion. Together, we discussed why this celebration is important, not only in the United States but also for Hispanic communities worldwide. The conversation ended with students recognizing the value of diversity, unity, and cultural pride
