    Becky Chavarria-Chairez, 2001
    Grade Level: 2nd Grade
    Multicultural Theme
     Acknowledge and compare other cultural groups

     Respect differences in culture(s)

     Engage and experience different ways of life

    Education Standards
    1. CCSS. ELA- Literacy. RL. 2.3- Describe how characters in a story respond to major events
    and challenges.
    2. CCSS. ELA -Literacy. RL. 2.5- Describe the overall structure of a story, including
    describing how the beginning introduces the story and the ending concludes the action.

    Objectives
     The student will be able to compare aspects of their own culture tradition with another
    peer using a Venn diagram with 95% accuracy.
     The student will be able to model cultural folk tale craft (pinata) by forming individual
    colorful figures made from papier-mache with 90% accuracy.

    Materials
     The book Magda’s Piñata Magic by Becky Chavarria-Chairez
     Venn diagram (for comparing cultures)
     Scissors
     Several newspapers
     Balloons
     Water and flour (to make the glue)
     Crepe paper (to decorate the pinata)
     String or ribbon (to hang the pinata)

    Procedure
     Introduce: Present the book Magda’s Piñata Magic by Becky Chavarria-
    Chairez. Then ask, “Have any of you ever had a piñata before? For what purpose
    are piñatas made for? Do you know when and why piñatas were first created?”
     Read: Teacher reads the book aloud to entire class.
     Discuss: With an assigned partner, students will share and discuss how they
    each celebrate their own birthday tradition. They will compare each other’s
    cultural customs, food and entertainment in a Venn diagram. Together, as a
    class, we will discuss the following questions relating to the challenges presented
    in the book, as well as describing the process of the story and how the
    introduction is presented and the action that concludes the story.
    Question 1: For what reason did Tio Manuel bring a piñata?
    Question 2: What was the problem in the beginning of the story, and how was
    resolved?
    Question 3: What did Magda do to resolve the problem? Did it work?
    Question 4: What would you have done to make Gabriel feel better?
    Question 5: Who remembers why mama said piñatas are made to be broken?
    (because it’s a tradition)

    Activity

    1. Working with a partner, students will analyze and record differences and
    similarities in cultures in a Venn diagram.
    2. Students will actively use their creativity to illustrate and form a piñata. They will
    begin constructing the piñata by blowing the balloon and forming the hard
    surface using the water and flour mixture and strips of newspaper (papier-
    mache). They will continue designing the craft by adding colorful strips of crepe
    paper. Finally, they can complete the final craft by tying the string onto the
    piñata to hang.

    Evaluation
    Teacher revises student’s work and inspects for accuracy and acknowledgement of comparisons
    in cultures.
