Abstract | This teacher resource text and student text is part of a continuing series on current and historical international issues, placing special emphasis on the importance of educating students in their participatory role as citizens. The unit seeks to bring Mexico's evolving national identity into sharper focus for U.S. high school students. Students are asked to see the world from a Mexican perspective and to contemplate current Mexican choices in the areas of economic development, political reform, and foreign relations. At the core of the unit are three distinct directions, or Futures, for Mexico in the coming years. Each Future is grounded in a clearly defined philosophy about Mexico's place in the world and offers broad guidelines on fundamental Mexican public policy issues. Includes five- and three-day lesson plans. The unit opens with an analysis of the recent controversy surrounding the revision of elementary school history textbooks in Mexico. The second lesson centers on Mexico's rich tradition of mural painting to introduce students to the concerns of individual Mexicans. The third and fourth lessons involve students in a simulation in which they act as advocates for the three Futures and as Mexican voters. In the fifth lesson, students apply their own policy recommendations for Mexico. (Author/BB) |
