Students in a Secondary Spanish II class studied Mexican folk art over the course of a week to improve their oral and written language skills and cultural awareness. The students wrote a paragraph and orally described each painting. The teacher tracked the students' written and oral growth across paintings. Results showed that most students were able to look at each painting, describe the cultural aspects depicted, and explain how they represented cultural products, practices, and perspectives.
