*Note: I have added lesson plans in my personal curriculum for: Dia de los Muertos, Navidad, and cinco de mayo.

**Note: All time frames are approximate. Additional days may need to be added.

****Note: The final exam is a cumulative written exam. Begin reviewing at least two weeks prior to the exam. Complete a written review packet and go over the answers. Also, I personally, have students create a review game. Groups are given a topic we covered. Then, they are given a week to create an entire game (board, directions, questions, answers, rules, etc. The class will play each game for two days prior to the exam. (They rotate games every 10-15 minutes.)
