Lesson script

Good morning/afternoon, class. Today we are going to be talking about Chicanx Studies. Chicanx Studies is an interdisciplinary academic field that focuses on the experiences, contributions, and struggles of Mexican Americans and other people of Mexican descent in the United States.

Lecture

Let's start our discussion by understanding the Chicanx Movement, which is the social and political movement of the Mexican American community that struggled against discrimination, poverty, and social injustice. The Chicano Movement emerged in the 1960s, originally as a response to the political and social inequalities that Mexican Americans experienced. This movement was significant because it was the first time that Mexican Americans came together and fought for their civil and human rights.

Group Activity

I have some printable cards that I would like to distribute among you. In groups, please fill out the information on the cards. These cards contain key figures and events related to the Chicanx Movement. You have around 5 minutes to complete this task.

Discussion

Thank you for completing the cards, now please give your attention back to me. Let's now start a class discussion on the key figures and events related to the Chicanx Movement. Can anyone share what they found on their cards?

Homework

Now that you have learned about the Chicanx Movement, I want you to read an article or a book chapter related to this topic and write a one-page reflection on what you have learned. Please hand in your homework next class.
