TEACHING GUIDE

All items are from NEW MEXICO:  A BRIEF MULTI-HISTORY 
by Rubén Sálaz Márquez.

Introduction

          New Mexico:  A Brief Multi-History is intended as an overview of New Mexico’s long, rich 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 basic text from Mid School through University classes. Students should be assigned according to their intellectual maturity. For example, 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.
