OBRA: EkekoEn el imaginario del altiplano andino, existe la figura de la abundancia, prosperidad y alegría. Esta representación es conocida como Ekeko, suele ser una figura de un hombre andino con diferentes productos: semillas y dinero. En esta gráfica busca darle otro sentido, hacer de un Ekeko relacionado con las artes, oficios y resistencias de nuestros pueblos. Que este Ekeko sea un amuleto de las resistencias nos brinde amor, justicia y rebeldía.

Inca Symbols. The Inca Empire existed in South America, in the area that is modern day Peru and Bolivia, from the early 13th Century until it’s last city was taken by the Spanish conquest in 1572. It was the largest and most developed empire in the Americas before the arrival of the Spanish.
I am finally going to use the Fluency Matters reader: El Ekeko: Un misterio boliviano! I love this novel by Katie Baker (another favorite of mine is also by Katie Baker: La llorona de Mazatlán). The reader will be a small part of the unit. We will read it together, act things out, and do some "listen and draw." According to Fluency Matters, the reader is "Advanced Beginning", but I am going to use it in my first unit for Cultura y Civilización (Spanish 4/5). That class has a very wide range of proficiencies, so this novel will help everyone feel at ease and it is engaging with a ton of cultural tangents to go off on... Fortunately, Arianne Dowd has created a ton of resources that will accompany this novel perfectly! Her resources would make an excellent stand-alone unit too. The resources that she created will help me to reach all levels of proficiency levels, particularly because there are so many activities that are connected authentic resources (you can see them all on this page), such as articles, news clips, PSAs (about children's rights), and other videos. There are so many AP Themes in this unit as well and six of my students will have AP Spanish second semester this year, so this will be an excellent introduction to some of the tasks they will have to do on the test. Also, Arianne's depth of cultural knowledge is amazing! I learned a ton as I was preparing this unit and I can't wait to do this unit with my students. Here is the UbD document that has the details of the unit, the Essential Questions, the Enduring Understandings, the order of the unit, the practice activities, and the assessments (all of wich are dound in Arianne's resources below). These are the four resources that I will be using:
