Title: Vamos a Leer: Educators Guides for Books that Engage with Latin America
Body:

From https://teachinglatinamericathroughliterature.wordpress.com/teacher-resources/

Vamos a Leer started as a monthly book group to support educators who wanted to bring more Latin American content into their classrooms. It has expanded into a blog with educator's guides that support the chosen books. Each guide includes background on the author and book, thematic lessons and activities, and resources to support or extend the use of the book in the classroom. The lesson plans and activities encourage the teaching of literacy through the content areas and are linked to the Common Core Standards used in New Mexico. The books are chosen for students in grades 3-12.

See the booklist and access the guides at https://teachinglatinamericathroughliterature.wordpress.com/teacher-resources/

Title: Black Cuban, Black American: An Ybor City Tour
Body:

From http://zachary-jones.com/zambombazo/black-cuban-black-american-an-ybor-city-tour/

Zachary Jones posts a photo tour of Ybor City, based on the book Black Cuban, Black American: A Memoir by Evelio Grillo. As stated in the post, “Using excerpts from the book as a guide, this Ybor City photo tour summarizes our recent trip to Tampa to see first-hand the locations of Black Cuban, Black American and reflect on its themes.” You could use this in conjunction with the book, or just use the pictures and the themes as discussion starting points, or you could also use this as a model to have your students create their own photo tour based on a book they have read or are reading in the target language.

Body:

From https://charlaenespanol.wordpress.com

This blog post focuses on the issue of machismo and the new concept of “micromachismo”, i.e. phrases and actions that we find in everyday life and show how machismo is part of the language and culture in countries like Spain. The video and questions proposed can lead to a debate in class to explore and tackle the issue.

Title: Instructional Tool: Language Transfer Issues
Body:

From http://profdev.ngelps.com/dotnetnuke/LanguageTransfer.aspx?m=lti

National Geographic School Publishing / Hampton-Brown's Language Transfer Supports attempts to address language transfer issues between English and six of the most common languages spoken by English language learners in U.S. schools. No matter which language you are teaching, you will probably have students with a variety of L1’s in your classroom. It is useful for any teacher to have an idea about language transfer issues and tools. The PDF provided is quite comprehensive. As the introduction explains: “The Language Structure Transfer Chart explains grammar differences between English and six other languages to identify points of negative transfer. Compare students’ errors to the transfer errors on the chart. This will help you understand why the error is occurring so that you can design appropriate instruction. You may also wish to encourage students to identify and share ways in which English parallels or differs from their own home languages. The Phonics Transfer Chart compares the sounds of English to those of the same six languages. As you work with students to teach phonics or develop pronunciation skills, use the chart to identify which sounds students may already know and which are new. In your instruction, devote particular practice to sounds that do not exist, or exist with different symbols, in students’ primary languages.”
