I will use oral and listening drills, communication activities, as well as reading and writing assignments so that students will be able to understand and successfully communicate in the Spanish language. I will also use a research project, as previously stated, about a specific issue related to retrospective justice in the Southern Cone in depth.
Strategies used will include:
-
· Practice pertinent unit vocabulary
-
· Practice regular -ar, -er, and -ir verbs in the preterite
-
· Practice ir and ser in the preterite
-
· Discuss the definition of human rights
-
· Discuss the idea of a human rights violation, and what human rights violations occurred
-
under the dictatorships in the Southern Cone
-
· Discuss whose responsibility it is to intervene in the crises of other countries
-
· Discuss the lasting effects of these human rights abuses on these societies
-
· Discuss the idea of retrospective justice, specifically in Argentina and Chile
-
· Discuss ways that retrospective justice can happen, specifically within a human rights
-
framework
-
· Make connections between these two dictatorships and what is going on in the world today
-
· Research the transitional justice in a specific dictatorship during this period in the
-
Southern Cone
I will provide students with the historical background of the dictatorships, as well as the concept of human rights. I will ensure that they have mastered these concepts, as well as the concept of retrospective justice, to ensure that they are ready to discuss what happened in Argentina and Chile, as well as other parts of the Southern Cone.
