This segment of the curriculum will review the author Richard Rodriguez, I believe that by doing Mr. Rodriguez first it gives the students the most intense look at language learning, and its impact on an individual. Students will read a specific chapter that is most relevant and poignant. Reading all of
Hunger for Memory
would be too difficult for this particular student population.
The class will read Richard Rodriguez' chapter Aria on his experience on language learning, from
Hunger of Memory: The Education of Richard Rodriguez.
The students will keep the following questions in mind as they read this chapter for discussion and have written notes to be turned in.
1. What are the feelings the young boy has about language and what it means?
|
2. What is your opinion on what his parents did? Do you think it was a
|
good or bad idea? Would you do it any differently?
|
3. What does the author say about bilingual education?
