Thematic
activities in language arts, science, math, history, geography, foreign
language study, music art, drama and dance are all covered comprehensively
in this exceptional study of Mexico from the country's Pre-Columbian
origins to the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire, Mexican independence,
revolution and reform, to Mexico in the 20th Century and today.
A
dramatization of the legend of the Aztec god Quetzalcoatl in pantomime and
choral reading is included with extensive production
suggestions.
Time Lines, maps, a "Who's Who" in Mexican
culture and a "Fascinating Fact Extrapolation" enables students to not
only learn about the country and its people, but to vicariously experience
the widely divergent sub-cultures of Mexico and understand in depth their
struggles and celebrations.
Step-by-step instructions are provided
for the design, preparation and presentation of an authentic,
student-created fiesta, which can be a celebratory classroom
activity or a school-wide culminating event.
In addition to an
excellent bibliography, appendices include sheet music for traditional
songs and crafts projects for ancient and modern Mexican costumes, musical
instruments and decorative crafts.
