6A and 6B
This week we are learning about Semana Santa, or Holy Week. In class we talked about some of the ways that Holy Week is celebrated in Hispanic (Spanish speaking) countries, and you were given an article to read. If you lost your article, you can find it at http://hispanic-culture-online.com/semana-santa.html
HW: After reading the article above, write an essay (at least 2 solid paragraphs [6-8 sentences] long) comparing and contrasting the way that Latinos celebrate Holy Week with the way we celebrate it here in the US. You can also watch the videos on my Home page to get a better feel for the Hispanic celebrations.
This homework is a writing assignment that is due when we come back from Easter Break (Monday, 4/28)
