I wanted to do something different than the norm, but wanted to incorporate tradition into my work. I created these Loteria Style Posters for students to color and present.

I created this for teachers that are looking to do something different and want an overview of many important aspects of our culture.

Cultural Facts: Share interesting facts about Hispanic history and culture on Instagram or Facebook, along with vibrant images or videos.
Bring in a speaker- Know an author, entrepreneur, a business, artist, activist? Have them come into your classroom to share their experience as a Hispanic in the professional world.
Creative Writing Workshop: Conduct a creative writing workshop where students write short stories or essays inspired by Hispanic culture, traditions, or history. If students come from a Hispanic background they can write about their family traditions. If students are not they can research traditions or write about the times they have been invited to any Hispanic celebration.
Student -Led Generated t: Encourage followers or students to share how they celebrate their heritage or what Hispanic Heritage Month. Have students answer out loud, and if they have never celebrated this month ask them how they think they could start celebrating.
Coloring Murals- Don’t have too much time to teach? Have students collaborative with this Free Poster I am sharing. You can also print my pre-made design into a poster.
