El ingenioso hidalgo Don Quijote de la Mancha

Assignment Directions:

*For this assignment, you will be working in pairs, and there will also be some
groups with 3 people. With your groups, you will create a graphic organizer to
organize information about the characters of the novel Don Quijote that you have
been reading. After you have the information put into a graphic organizer, you will
then create a presentation, and you will present it to the class. EVERYTHING
MUST be written down in SPANISH.

Step 1: Teacher will assign you a partner or partner(s) to work with.

Step: 2: Teacher will assign you specific characters that you will be describing.
Step 3: Now that you have your groups, and the characters that you will be
working on, you will find information in your class notes, and in your class
textbook about the novel’s characters. You can also use the Quizlet website,
specifically this one https://quizlet.com/124921477/don-quijote-characters-flash-
cards/ to help you acquire information about the characters. *Important: If you use
this website to acquire information, when creating your graphic organizer,
PLEASE write it in your own words.
a) Describe your characters with the following characteristics: 1) Their age, 2)
Their gender, 3) Their occupation 4) Their importance in the novel (ex: main
character, secondary character, just appears once in the novel, etc). 5) One
important characteristic that happens to this character OR a characteristic of
each one of them that stands out. *These are the main steps to describe your
characters, however, you can use more important details that you may want
to share.
b) When describing the assigned characters, you will go back to your
Webercise, and go over your vocabulary exercises. When describing the
characters, you will use use at least 6 of these vocabulary terms to describe
the characters.
Step 4: Once you have gathered and obtained all the information for your
characters, you will create a graphic organizer. You will use Google Docs, so as a
group, you all can edit it. You can also use Word. Below you will find a sample of
how your graphic organizer will look like.
Step 5: Now that you have your graphic organizer, you will create a presentation
using Google Slides or PowerPoint or Pretzi, whichever you wish to use. *I
recommend using Google Slides, so you can share it with your group partner(s),
and all of you can work on it at the same time.
a) For your presentation you will just copy and paste the information that you
have created in your Graphic Organizer. You will use one slide for each
character that you will describe. **Important: Only for your presentation,
you MUST include one image for each character. It could be a picture of her
or him or it, or of anything that represents each of them.
