Project/event description:

Spanish and other World Language students at Carmel Catholic High School will be sharing images via Twitter or Instagram to illustrate that we can use images and other activities (sports, hobbies) to transcend language barriers and connect with people throughout the world.

Project/event directions for participation:

See Google Doc link for instructions (or read below). Share an image that embodies the following questions: How do hobbies affect us? Why do we enjoy sports, music, theatre, and other hobbies/pastimes so much? What can we learn about a person or a culture through their favorite sports or pastimes? Instructions for participants: Share your own image via Instagram or Twitter that demonstrates how hobbies/pastimes affect you, how they can help communities bond/heal/grieve, how they can help people make new friends, and how you can learn a lot about an individual person or even a whole culture through this unique lens. Write a caption that may describe your experience Feel free to write in your native language! My students are studying Spanish, so their photos will be captioned in Spanish! Share with us by using BOTH of the following hashtags! #GlobalEd15 #CCHSGlobalEd15 Share with me on Twitter @SrtaPerk!
