South of the Border with Borreguita: An Engineering Design Challenge

This is an integrated lesson that includes an Engineering Design Challenge, a study of Mexico using an informational text, and a traditional folktale, Borreguita and the Coyote by Verna Aardema. The Engineering Design Challenge is intended to help students investigate and generate explanations (SC.2.N.1.1) and practice working with money (MAFS.2.MD.3.8) as they design and build flagpoles to display a flag representing story concepts. It is not intended as an initial introduction to these concepts.
