Today's Learning Objective:
Students will develop background knowledge in order to better understand the historical and regional context of world literature. RL.10.6

Today's Assignment: Webquest!
We are about to begin the novel, //Like Water for Chocolate//. As always, some background knowledge is critical for full understanding, so we need to learn a little bit about the Mexican Revolution. Today, your job is to explore the people, events, causes, and consequences of this conflict by completing a webquest! Make sure to keep an accurate log of all websites used. Use your own paper so that you have room to respond.

Homework: Corridos
Read the info sheet on the corrido, a form of Mexican folk music. Read and annotate the song. Look for purpose! (So what?)
