In my last post, I shared with you the wonderful resources from PBS Learning Media centered around their remarkable documentary series: Latino Americans. But did you know that Ray Suarez wrote a book to accompany the series?
I happen to have a few copies of both the English and Spanish versions in my shop. If you are thinking about incorporating a Hispanic Studies course into your classroom or homeschool, I would highly recommend using this book as the spine and using the PBS Learning Media materials and PBS.org to supplement the reading.
PBS.org has dedicated an entire section on its website where you can watch episodes of the three-part, six-hour documentary series, and find additional materials related to the show. What's even better is that it is available in English AND Spanish.
You can even become a part of the LATINO AMERICANS project with "Mi Historia" and make a video describing what being Latino means to you.
Between these three resources - the books shown above, PBS Learning Media, and the Latino Americans website - you would have a meaty core for your Hispanic Studies course.
Those of you who are homeschooling highschoolers and who are looking for materials in English or Spanish, this is a definite gem!
So slip on over to my shop and get copies of these books while they last. I have them new in my shop for $15, but you can also find them used on Amazon here and here (aff links).
Enjoy!
