| "WORD of ADVICE: History is often as controversial a subject as there is in American society. A person may be heroic to some people but villainous to somebody else. Controversy is to be expected when teaching New Mexico history. No matter what material is used to teach New Mexico history, someone will find it “controversial.” The teacher’s goal should be to have students study both sides of any controversy and let students make their own decision as to what to believe. The teacher's opinion should not be forced on students. It is also recommended that an author's bias, pro or con, be discussed openly whenever possible." |

ACTIVITIES (PDF format) FOREWORD All items in the ACTIVITIES—QUESTIONS—ANSWERS sections are from the State adopted NEW MEXICO: A BRIEF MULTI-HISTORY by Rubén Sálaz Márquez. The professional lesson plans provided herein for use with New Mexico: A Brief Multi-History are extensive by necessity because they are intended to enable teachers to select materials for their level of students. The intent is to have students Read-Write-Speak on New Mexico history, not the mere memorization of “factoids.” Do not become overwhelmed by the amount of material available for teaching New Mexico history in these lesson plans. Obviously, no single teacher will use all the strategies provided below because there would not be enough time in the school year. Their purpose is to enable the teacher to exercise SELECTION. By judicious use of this guide, specific lesson plans/strategies/ideas can be utilized by professionals at the elementary, mid-school, high school, or college level. For example, for the one semester of New Mexico History required for high school graduation, the Profile Biography sections, 39 items in the STATEHOOD section alone, could suffice for the semester because 20th century New Mexico history is reflected in these biographies. If that is the choice, it should not be forgotten that the present can also be used to illuminate the past, and vice versa. Additionally, expect controversy because differing opinions in class can lead to topics that should be discussed/debated using documented evidence and sound logic. Understanding the New Mexican present and past is crucial to recognizing New Mexican realities, good or bad. The teacher should emphasize that ideas, not the person articulating them, are being discussed. Use of the biographies are only one small part of lesson plan possibilities that could be selected by the teacher. For example, basics for the 9th grade course could be (1) Vocabulary building, (2) Biography as History, (3) specific, teacher assigned research topics, (4) and learning games like Jeopardy or Password. . As you will recognize, these lesson plans were created by a career classroom professional. They will not be construed as “boring.” Compare them in scope, creativity, potential for productivity, etc., to any others provided with any other textbook. Every effort has been made to organize these materials to facilitate their use in the classroom. Do not be overwhelmed by the amount of material presented in New Mexico: A Brief Multi-History or in the lesson plans below. It would be good to review all strategies provided but it is not necessary to download the entire “Learning and Teaching Guide.” A good starting strategy would be to make a copy of the Table of Contents for the ACTIVITIES—QUESTIONS—ANSWERS segments then decide what would be appropriate for your students. Copy those files and structure them for use in your particular classroom. Other items can be copied as necessary during the school year. Feel free to contact the author by email: Saljustin@msn.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~IntroductionNew Mexico: A Brief Multi-History is intended as an overview of New Mexico’s long, rich history. The essence of our lesson plans is a hands-on effort to have students read assigned material, write a report on it, then present the information orally to the class. The student will thus be required to READ—WRITE—SPEAK on New Mexico history.
VOCABULARY BUILDING should be an integral part of any presentation, especially with younger learners. Depending on the teacher, the material can be used as a resource at all levels or as a basic text from Mid School through University classes. Students should be assigned according to their intellectual maturity. For example, elementary or Mid School students should review the vocabulary associated with the study of NM history and then could be directed to study the biography of certain New Mexicans in a particular period (Spanish, Mexican, Territorial, Statehood). As knowledge of basic information increases, High School students could be directed to study the sections labeled “Professions” or aspects like “Santero Art/Santeros” and “Penitentes.” University students might be directed to study and be able to discuss the Annotated Bibliography as a starting point then, after basic knowledge is achieved, dwell more on the Comparative History sections under the “TIMELINE” labels. Consult the ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY for additional sources when needed for a particular topic. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ INDEX for ACTIVITIES: PART I: BASIC VOCABULARYPages 1-100Pages 501-610
