The Crucible of Struggle. I’d like you to imagine you were teaching this course. What major issues between 1970-2020 would you include in your course materials?
1. Pick three topics from this time period that you would like to discuss in this course. At least two of your picks must come from the Chapter 11 &12 reading- though if you have one issue that wasn’t addressed in the readings you can use that as your third. Remember it has to be on a topic between 1970-2020. It must relate to the Mexican American experience- and you need to clearly state how.
2. Once you identify your three topics, briefly explain what they are in your own words, then tell us: why should these topics should be covered in this course? Do your topics connect to what we’ve talked about already in this course? Do any of them connect to your experiences or those of your family?
