3/16 - Mexico and Central America

Today we finished discussing Ch22, Sec1, and moved into Section 2, which focuses on Mexico and Central America. We will continue to discuss this section tomorrow.


Students were also given an art assignment. As with Frida Kahlo's "Self-Portrait on the Border Line Between Mexico and the United States," students are to make a self-portrait (or collage) with themselves in the middle and elements of their world around them. They can show how they feel torn between worlds like Frida did, or they may make some other statement with their self-portrait. These are due Wednesday, March 23rd.

Homework: Read Ch22, Sec2, and start brainstorming ideas for your self-portraits
