[LM_NET] Hit: Mexico for Gr 3-4

[Barbara Braxton <barbara.288@BIGPOND.COM>]

Thank you to everyone who has responded - your help is much appreciated.  

I promised the teachers at the school I would create a hotlist of sites and add it 
to my blog as
part of my SLJ All Together Now 12 Things  course.
http://www.schoollibraryjournal.com/blog/290000629.html  From everything that 
everyone sent I have
compiled the most suitable and you can find it online at 
http://emagimusings.edublogs.org/ - The
Mysteries of Mexico.  With a little help from my friend, I have even added an audio 
file so the
children can listen to the national anthem of Mexico directly.!  Am proud of that.

For my lesson, I am going to get the children to retell the story of Senor Coyote 
and the Cheese
from the point of view of either the rabbit, the coyote or a journalist reporting 
the event.  This
will then be illustrated with yarn pictures.  I am leaving La Llorona for the 
classroom teacher
because she has more time than I to do it justice.
