As the title suggests, this curriculum unit deals with the use of English in Hispanic-American culture. Teaching at a school with a predominately Hispanic population, I felt that this topic would be appropriate and interesting to the majority of my students. The goals of this unit are two fold. The first objective of this unit is to expand the horizons of my students when it comes to what prejudice means, especially when it comes to the language that one speaks. During this unit, students will explore the role of language in their lives and the lives of those around them as we read the story “No Speak English” by Sandra Cisneros and watch the film Fools Rush In (1996). They will make value judgments and notice situations when bilingual Hispanics use English instead of Spanish and vice versa. In addition to this, students will also explore the theme of prejudice in a more general sense as we read the story The War Between the Classes by Gloria Miklowitz. The other objective is to work on many of the skills specific to the Texas Assessment of Academic Skills Test (TAAS). The specific skills that will be studied during this unit are inferencing, summarization, the difference between fact and opinion, character’s emotions, and the author’s purpose for writing. By the end of this unit, students will have a clear idea of all the dimensions that make up prejudice in our society and be prepared to master many of the objectives on the TAAS test. Teachers using the Success For All (SFA) Reading Program will also find convenient activities for use with this unit.
