Description

This rigorous, culturally relevant, multimedia mini-unit inspired by Hispanic Heritage Month / Indigenous Peoples Day takes students on a journey through Latinx and Chicano identity with rap, poetry, TV shows, personal narratives, and vlogs all composed by Latinx artists and writers. The three-lesson unit goes beyond the superficial treatment of Hispanic Heritage and includes readings, discussion prompts, multimedia links, and a detailed lesson progression that includes engaging, culturally responsive strategies for reflection and discussion that support diverse learners, including English Learners (ELs). Students analyze poetry by Pat Mora, discuss videos from the popular YouTube channel Pero Like, respond to a personal narrative about identity and Selena Quintanilla, and more.

This unit is designed for high school humanities lessons, but take note that some of the content (notably the Netflix episode of Gentefied) contain profanity and sensitive themes.
