I will integrate culture, Spanish language, vocabulary, and grammar into this unit.
By the end of the unit, students will be able to:
-
· interpret and produce travel vocabulary
-
· interpret and produce dictatorship and transition vocabulary
-
· conjugate regular -ar, -er, and -ir verbs in the preterite
-
· conjugate ir and ser in the preterite
-
· describe and explain the dictatorships and the human rights violations that occurred in the Southern Cone
-
· evaluate the process of retrospective justice after each dictatorship
The final assessment will include a short group presentation about a specific issue related to the retrospective justice in Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia, Brazil, or another country in the Southern Cone that suffered through a dictatorship in the same time period. In addition to this presentation, students will also take a written test.
