Don Quixote de le Mancha

As many of you know, the story of Don Quixote de le Mancha has become a very big unit in my classroom. If you don't know the story of Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes, you should. I took my students to see a brillant play that told this story in English and Spanish, which fit right in as we are a Spanish Magnet school. We read a short story of Don Quixote and watched a historical video about it as well. My classroom loved this unit!!

This picture is a painting by Pablo Picasso of Don Quixote and his squire. We have this print hanging in our school :) The biggest lesson you should take away from this 400 year old, classical historical fiction, "If you don't try, you won't succeed. If you don't try grandly, you won't succeed grandly." By far one of the best stories when you learn the history behind it.
