A great book for discussing bullying, gangs, human rights, and prejudice

Activity Ideas:


 * Have students create a Venn diagram in which they list characteristics of Maria, children from the blue town, and children from the green town.

Þ Have students discuss (or do a journal entry) in Spanish a time when they felt invisible and how they handled the situation.

Þ Extension activities might include:

à Make a public service announcement, magazine advertisement, or collage which attempts to send a message against prejudice—all words must be in Spanish.

à Reading other stories or watching movies in Spanish which involve prejudice such as:

Friends from the Other Side (about illegal immigrants)

Martin Luther King, hijo (discusses the life of MLK, Jr. with beautiful watercolor

illustrations)

West Side Story (about two rival gangs)—could be compared to Romeo & Juliet

à Exploring prejudice using issue #4 of COLORS magazine (MUST __pre-screened by the teacher)__.
