Alissa,
The Southern Poverty Law Center provides free resources to teachers as part of 
their Teaching Tolerance program.  One of their videos and resources is about 
César Chavez and the Latino rights movement.  It's in English, but comes with a 
ton of good resources, lesson plans, discussion prompts, etc.  I'd recommend it.
Viva La Causa:   http://www.tolerance.org/kit/viva-la-causa
They have other free resources that might be useful as well, such as "A Place 
at the Table."  You may want to browse.

This is my first year teaching a Spanish Heritage class. We just finished 
watching “Walkout” and have been looking at data on Hispanic in schools such as 
drop out, percent in college and so on. I’m now looking for any short stories 
that talk about Hispanic education, activism, Latino rights…anything to 
continue to talk, inspire, help them dig deeper and so on. I prefer in Spanish 
but let me know what you got.

Also, this is my first year teaching it, so I am a little low in resources. If 
you have any other resources for a heritage class – I welcome them!
