For the "Immigrant Experience" I highly recommend Francisco Jimenez, Chicano
author, and his autobiographical books Cajas de Carton, Senderos Fronterizos
and Mas Alla de Mi -
Each of the chapters in his books reads more like a short story and recount his
youth leaving Mexico to come work the fields in California with his family -

Subject: [ola] Good Literature
Hi all,
I'm transitioning teaching positions next school year and teaching an
equivalent of Spanish 3/4 integrated into an internationally themed block with
English, social science, technology, and leadership. We'll be doing thematic
units like "The Immigrant Experience" and "My-Cronimics", tying the economics
of their lives to micro lending and Kiva.
I'm looking for literature recommendations appropriate for 11-12 graders in an
internationally themed course. Unit suggestions also welcome! Also looking for
lower elementary level book recommendations around these topics in Spanish
(high interest, low level).
Thanks everyone! Tess
