the students participation in the extension activities. The procedures
section should explain the following:
I will remind students that fighting is inappropriate behavior while also asking if they
ever heard of wrestling before.
Do you know the translation for ___? What do you think __means? What would be your
finishing move?
I will ask if they liked learning about lucha libra, how is it similar to American wrestling
and how it differs?
Now explain the extension activity:
o I will ask the students to come up and choose their mask (2 choices)
o 1. Think of a character you would like to bring to the ring and then color your
mask to represent that character.

2. Write the name of that character on the back of the mask and what move you
would use to finish your opponent.
3. Cut the mask out.
4. Cut out circles/ovals for the eyes, nose and mouth.
5. Ask for the hole punch and make holes on the side of the mask.
6. Ask for some string and tie some to the end of each hole.
7. Talk about the character you created.
o To be able to create your own character. To be able to cut and paste on your own.
To be able to color your mask.
o We will discuss about the masks and what they represent and a reminder that
fighting is not to be done at any time other than a ring.
5. Closure:
Plan a closure that connects the story and the extension activity.
When Nino couldnt defeat Las Hermanintas, he decided to join them to
create a super tag team. Remember that we are a team as a classroom. So
instead of fighting with each other, lets work together to defeat the bad
guy (principal, other classroom, etc.)

children have achieved the planned objectives/standards???? [Checklists
