| Title | Spanish Unit: La Frontera |
| Body | Editor's Note: Below is a request for help on a unit entitled "La Frontera," and two replies with additional suggestions. I wish to incorporate all four skills and have planned to use the following resources: * Video--El Norte (por supuesto) * Lectura--Cuentos: Cajas de carton, Naranjas Articulos sobre los braceros, Operation Wetback, maquiladoras, NAFTA Muchos articulos corrientes de cnnenespanol.com y tambien elnorte.com, particularmente de la visita la semana pasada entre los presidentes Fox y Bush. * Musica--Maria por Tish Hinojosa Horton, C. (10 Mar. 2004). Unit help: La frontera. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (3 May 2004). Amnesty International has a short video about a woman orphaned as a child during the Guatemalan Civil War and her search for her family at: http://web.amnesty.org/web/content.nsf/pages/gbrguatemala_video Also, there is a photo essay and interviews about the indigenous peoples of Guatemala after the civil war at: http://www.tribeofman.com/NebajEsp.html/Nebaj-intro1.html Braun, L. (11 Mar. 2004). Re: Unit help: La frontera. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (3 May 2004). You might include art: Carmen Lomas Garza (all of her books are great, and a lot is on the internet) Judith Baca (I love her mural at the Denver Airport) Jose Antonio Burciaga (Last Supper of the Chicano Heroes) Luis Jimenez, a sculptor whose "Crossing the River" is one of the most powerful pieces I have ever seen. Also poetry: Pat Mora Ana Castillo "Mi hijo, mi hija, el aguila, la paloma" (I think - it's at school.) Corky Gonzalez: Yo soy Joaquin "Why am I so brown?" http://www.trinidadjr.org/TPWhy.html There's another - Homenaje al padre chicano - that is in Sendas literarias (I think) Another film/book combination: The ballad of Gregorio Cortez and the book it was based on: With a Pistol in His Hand, Americo Paredes. Civil Rights: Lemon Grove, Zoot Suit riots, Ludlow massacre, Cesar Chavez, Dolores Huerta, Emma Tenayuca, Hispanic Heroes: Dr. Hector P. Garcia (there is a video about him, but I don't remember the name.) Zorro, the Hispanic super-hero. You might have the kids investigate sports heroes and entertainment heroes BEFORE the current crop. Also, military heroes. And don't forget Bill Richardson. Also: the first Thanksgiving (in El Paso). Here's one site you can use as a starting point: http://www.cfbisd.edu/schools/ smi/raza/ There are a lot of sources at the end, but a lot of links no longer exist, alas. CRS, (11 Mar. 2004).
