Description
Enhance your Civil Rights lessons with an introduction to Chicano poetry, specifically Rodolfo Corky Gonzalez's "Yo Soy Joaquin." OR, enhance your Poetry unit with history.
This lesson introduces the iconic poem with an overview examination of the poem's message and key ideas. Audio and video are included as part of the lesson. This can be used as whole class work with small group/independent activities, or adapted to independent virtual or engaging deskwork. Listen to the entire poem for learners wanting a challenge or just part of it for learners who are less motivated. An excellent way to incorporate DEI teachings as well as get all students engaged with ideas on oppression that resonate throughout our history.
