The students will rotate in centers to make four different Mexican instruments: guitar, drums, tambourine, and maracas.

After the students are finished with their centers, they will perform with the YouTube video shown previously. The children will use the instrument that they made in their last center. The students will play their instruments along with the music. <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin-left: 0in; text-indent: -0.25in;">2. To end the lesson, the students will write about Mexican culture and music in their daily agendas. The students will need to include at least one similarity and one difference between Mexican and American culture. The students will also need to choose one of the instruments they made in their centers and write about how it was made and whether or not they believe the instrument is used in American music. || <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">//My Diary from Here to There// by Amada Irma Perez <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">Compare and Contrast Worksheet- [] <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">Guitar Craft- [] <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">Drum Craft- [] <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">Tambourine Craft- [] <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">Maracas Craft- [] <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">Mariachi YouTube Video- [] <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">Materials: <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">Pencils <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">Glue <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">Markers <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">Paper Plates <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">Tissue boxes <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">Hole Puncher <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">Rubber bands <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">Yarn <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">Paper towel tubes <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">Dried beans <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">Coffee cans <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">Styrofoam cups <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">Construction paper <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">Compare and Contrast Worksheets <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">Felt <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">Scissors <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">Instructions for each center || <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">·How will student learning be assessed?
