Instructions

1. Before the activity, print out the “Todo Acerca De Mi/All About Me Booklet” on white computer paper and fold in half. IMPORTANT: Print double-sided on the short edge. Cut yarn into 6” strips. 
2. Gather students and discuss various languages they have heard from around the world. Emphasize the importance of the different languages and what they can teach us.
3. Explain the purpose of this activity and give instructions.
4. Next, pass out booklets to students. Each student will need 1 full booklet (4 pages).
5. Ask students to start by writing their names on the front of their booklets.
6. This booklet is in both English and Spanish. All students will fill out all of the blanks. If students do not speak Spanish, they will simply fill in the same answer in both blanks. (Example: Mi nombre es Mark. My name is Mark.)
7. Students should check to ensure that their booklet is in the right order (page numbers are on the bottom of each page) and hole punch the sides of the booklet.
8. Thread yarn through the holes and tie to hold the booklet together.
9. Use a pencil or pen to fill out the writing first, then go back to add pictures and colors.
10. Clean up the markers, colored pencils, or crayons.
11. Break students into groups of 3 or 4 to share their booklets with their group.
12. After everyone in the group has shared, pose reflection questions to students to answer within their groups.
