Guide Entry to 24.01.02
In this 6-week curriculum unit, newcomer MLL students will analyze images from the American Industrial Revolution and the Mexican Industrial Revolution. Students will learn how industrialization in these two countries has shaped the physical landscape, as well as the landscape of living conditions and outcomes for human populations. Students will apply an ecocritical lens to observe, question, and analyze the environmental degradation of a landscape and the impacts on local human populations; moreover, they will reflect upon the ways in which U.S. policy and transnational industry are driving environmental and social issues in the border cities of Mexico. This unit's content objectives are embedded with language objectives intended to scaffold student progress toward English proficiency and mastery of grade-level knowledge and skills that can be applied in content area classes.
