Arbitration (n)

Now seems like as good a time as any to post this Cultural Literacy worksheet on arbitration. I do understand that this might be a dying art and practice: now when humans have conflicts, they take to Twitter or Facebook and excoriate their adversaries.

You know, kind of like the culture of high school.

Cultural Literacy: Aristocracy

OK. here on a Sunday afternoon is a Cultural Literacy worksheet on aristocracy. By the strict definition of Hispanic Heritage Month, it’s another stretch. On the other hand, students need to understand the concept of aristocracy to understand land distribution across the Latin American world and its consequence, poverty.

The Weekly Text, October 12, 2018, Hispanic Heritage Month 2018 Week IV: A Reading and Comprehension Worksheet on Tupac Amaru II

Today is the final Friday of Hispanic Heritage Month 2018. This week’s Text is this reading on the Inca rebel Tupac Amaru II and the comprehension worksheet that accompanies it. If you recognize this anti-colonialist hero’s name, it’s very likely because the late rapper Tupac Amaru Shakur was named for him.

Francisco de Goya

Somewhere in the shuffle of documents for posts in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month 2018 (and those for 2016 and 2017 as well) l misplaced this reading on Francisco de Goya and the comprehension worksheet that complements it. He’s a key late-Enlightenment figure, and this reading has some key points on art history.
