This was my lesson! It was Mexican Folk Art, where the students learned about how metal embossing worked and how they used it in their artwork. I had the students make their own symbol that meant something to them just like the mexican folk art has symbols that mean things to them. Then I had the students write why their symbol is important to them.
An extension activity would be to learn more about the Mexican Culture in social studies. The students would need to come up with a presentation any way they want to present the information they have learned about the Mexican culture. They could do a powerpoint, a skit, a paper, a poster, or any other kind of way to present. This project would be pretty open ended just as long as they present the important information about the Mexican culture.
