Title: Hunger for Mangos
Objective: To introduce Hispanic Literature to the students to broaden their understanding of cultural difference and the importance of keeping an open mind.
Texts:
Hunger of Memory by Richard Rodriguez
House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros
11/12th Grade
Activity: A book talk over each book to introduce them to the students. They will then evenly divide down the middle on who will read which book, and I would then have the two halves split into two or three smaller groups.
The books would be taught through discussions, and activities such as power points, creative pamphlets promoting multicultural support which we could put up in the community, online web responses, and creative rewrites.
Final Project: Personal Inquiry over other cultures they're personally interested in.
The assessment would include a total of the assignments, in class participation, and online discussion.
Duration of Unit: 3Weeks
