Curriculum Project For Ashley Lopez In fulfillment of the Fulbright Program Winter 2006 "Exploring Myth, <a href="/keyword/magical-realism/" >magical realism</a> , and Mysticism in Literature and Art" Introduction: Exploring Myth, <a href="/keyword/magical-realism/" >magical realism</a> , and Mysticism in Literature and Art Mexico is a culture with a rich past and enduring tradition. These qualities are reflected in the literature and art of its people. The goal of this unit is to synthesize four significant genres of this culture and examine how the influences of the past endure, transcending medium. To begin, students will read an ancient Mayan creation myth that attempts to explain the creation of man and all the Earth's inhabitants. This selection represents literature in antiquity. Students will examine elements of this myth, then compare and contrast it to elements found in Greek mythology. Next, students will examine a short fiction selection from a contemporary Colombian author Gabriel Garcia Marquez, entitled "A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings." As students move from examining a myth, they will recognize similar characteristics in contemporary Latin American fiction that employs the element of <a href="/keyword/magical-realism/" >magical realism</a> and how it works to reveal the values of society. However, there are other genres that retain many of the same qualities found in literature of the past. Sandra Cisneros's vignette, "The Three Sisters" contains elements of the mystic as well as trappings of Catholic religion, a faith whose influence is pervasive through the entire Mexican culture, even as it crosses the border and becomes Mexican-American. Interestingly enough, the elements that endure in classic and contemporary literature alike are also represented in visual art. Students will examine a painting by Frida Kahlo for elements of the mythic, magical, and surreal. This example of artwork acts as a culminating activity that will draw together all the elements found in the literature and how they visually work to tell a story. It is fitting that Kahlo would be included in this study, as she was greatly schooled in the traditions and myths of her beloved Mexico and her work, often depicting Mexico's past, is among the most famous to emerge from her country. It is my hope that this unit will offer a unique insight into the study of Mexican culture. As students work on academic skills such as reading comprehension, annotation, and the study of literary elements, I also hope that other cultural perspectives emerge that will endure after the unit has concluded. 1 Lesson One Myths: a reading from the "Popol Vuh" Description Students will use a passage from the "Popol Vuh" to study an example of a Mayan creation myth. TEKS Objectives 7A Students will establish a purpose for reading such as to discover, interpret, and enjoy. 7G Students will draw inferences such as conclusions, generalizations, and predictions and support them with text evidence and experience. 8C Read world literature, including classic and contemporary works. 9A Recognize distinctive and shared characteristics of cultures through reading. 10B Students will use elements of text to defend his/her own responses and interpretation. Teacher to Teacher Notes A myth is a traditional story that explains some aspect of human society or the natural world, often reflecting the religious beliefs of a particular people. The main characters in myths depict gods and heroes. Creation myths, such as the "Popol Vuh" attempt to explain the origin of the world and how man and all creatures came into existence. The following selection, from the "Popol Vuh," is an ancient Mayan myth that explains how the gods created humans. Before reading this selection, have students share what they remember about Greek creation myths and key figures such as the Titans. (Additional resource: Edith Hamilton's Mythology, "How the World and Mankind Were Created.") After discussion, begin reading this selection, annotating the passage for key literary elements such as personification and imagery, as well as the mythological elements. To begin, make sure students have a basic understanding of literary terms such as imagery, inference, metaphor, personification, and symbolism before the reading so that they can identify these elements in the text. Each student will need a printed copy of the passage as well as a highlighter and a pen or pencil with which to make marginal notes. Make a transparency of the passage to demonstrate this skill for students so they can see how to properly highlight and how to annotate. Prompt students to ask questions, make comments, and connect these elements with Greek mythology, as marginal notes/comments. Monitor students as they highlight, making sure they highlight only key words and phrases and that they make detailed notes in the margin that include not only the identification of the word, but also an interpretation or the significance of the highlighted text. Materials Printed copies of the passage entitled "Popol Vuh" A transparency of "Popol Vuh" Pens, pencils, highlighters Webster's Collegiate Dictionary Resources & Technology http://jc-schools.net/ce/reading-strategies_files/frame.htm (A presentation on active reading strategies) http://www.justreadnow.com/strategies/active.htm (Active reading strategies) http://www.hrs.pvt.k12.ca.us/us/learning_skills/lessons/sample_annotation.htm 2 (Sample annotated text) http://www.greekmyth.org/ (A comprehensive web site for links to Greek mythology) Procedures/Activities MODELED/SHARED As a class, read the first two paragraphs of the passage entitled "Popol Vuh." At the overhead, demonstrate for students how to highlight key words and phrases and to make detailed marginal notes that include the identification of various literary devices as well as an interpretation of what they mean within the context of the story. For example, you may want to point out that "Creation" and "Calm" are examples of personification. Prompt the students to question: "Why are Creation and Calm capitalized?" Students may want to note that these words are capitalized because they represent two great kings that ruled the earth before man. GUIDED PRACTICE As a class, read the next two paragraphs together, identifying the various literary devices and noting how they work to explain how and why man was created including key words and phrases and making detailed notes in margin that offer not only the identification of a literary term, but also an interpretation of the term. INDEPENDENT PRACTICE Students will read the rest of the passage on their own, annotating the passage for various literary devices and the similarities to Greek mythology. APPLICATION In a class discussion, the teacher will ask guiding questions to make sure the students understand certain aspects of Mayan and Greek mythology: 1. What could be the Greek equivalent to the Mayan "Maker, Tepeu, and Gucumatz, the Forefathers? (Students may connect the Forefathers to the Titans) 2. What is different about how the Mayan Forefathers and the Greeks create life? (The Mayans created life from nothing. However, each of the Greek gods were born or created from either an individual or some aspect of nature.) 3. What does the "clay" material seem to symbolize in the Forefather's first attempt to create Man? 4. What attributes of "wood" make it a better suited for creating Man than "clay"? 5. What is it about the "wooden figures," though better than "clay," that is still not the ideal material for Man? 6. Based on the possible interpretations for "clay" and "wood," what seems to be the desired traits for Man that neither of these materials provided? Assessment(s) The students will respond to four open-ended questions covering various aspects of the passage. The instructor should look for a correctly identified example of personification, lines from the text using personification for support, and an interpretation of how personification is used to reveal various aspects of human nature or traits of man's character. Interdisciplinary Connections Have students view a movie clip from "The Odyssey" to look for shared elements of Greek and Mayan mythology. What traits do these gods share? How are they different? 3 4 5 6 Open-ended items for "Popol Vuh" Using your annotated reading, answer each of the following questions supporting responses with evidence from the text. 1. Why do the Creators need human beings? ___________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________ 2.

TEKS Objectives 7A Students will establish a purpose for reading such as to discover, interpret, and enjoy. 7G Students will draw inferences such as conclusions, generalizations, and predictions and support them with text evidence and experience. 8C Read world literature, including classic and contemporary works. 9A Recognize distinctive and shared characteristics of cultures through reading. 10B Students will use elements of text to defend his/her own responses and interpretation. Teacher to Teacher Notes This lesson is meant to follow the discussion of Greek mythology and the ready of the "Popol Vuh." As creation myths seek to explain the unexplainable, stories that employ the element of <a href="/keyword/magical-realism/" >magical realism</a> seek to create an event that cannot be explained. However, both genres contain common mythic elements that strive to provide commentary on man and the values of his society. To begin, make sure students have a basic understanding of literary terms such as characterization, simile, metaphor, oxymoron, personification, symbolism, imagery, and inference before the reading so that they can identify these elements in the text. Each student will need a printed copy of the passage as well as a highlighter and a pen or pencil with which to make marginal notes. Make a transparency of one part of the beginning of the passage to demonstrate this skill for students so they can see how to properly highlight and how to make marginal notes. Prompt students to ask questions, isolate parts of the text that show <a href="/keyword/magical-realism/" >magical realism</a> , make comments, and connect these elements with other stories they have read, such as the "Popol Vuh." Monitor students as they highlight, making sure they highlight only key words and phrases and that they make detailed notes in the margin that include not only the identification of the word, but also an interpretation or the significance of the highlighted text. Materials Printed copies of the passage entitled "A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings" A transparency of one part of the beginning of the passage Pens, pencils, highlighters Webster's Collegiate Dictionary Resources & Technology http://www.geocities.com/cyber_explorer99/garciamarquezoldman.html (A full electronic text of the story "A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings") http://mockingbird.creighton.edu/Ncw/marquez.htm (A Web page discussing the author and defining the technique of <a href="/keyword/magical-realism/" >magical realism</a> ) http://jc-schools.net/ce/reading-strategies_files/frame.htm (A presentation on active reading strategies) http://www.justreadnow.com/strategies/active.htm (Active reading strategies) http://www.hrs.pvt.k12.ca.us/us/learning_skills/lessons/sample_annotation.htm 12 (Sample annotated text) Procedures/Activities MODELED/SHARED As a class, read the first page of the passage entitled "A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings." At the overhead, demonstrate for students how to isolate key words and phrases and to make detailed marginal notes that identify various literary devices including elements that seem unreal or magical. For example, you may want to point out that a very old man "is impeded by his enormous wings" is an example of <a href="/keyword/magical-realism/" >magical realism</a> because, under normal circumstances, humans don't have wings. Prompt the students to question, ""Why does the old man have wings? How did he get them?" Students may want to note that this odd story detail juxtaposed to a seemingly normal setting is a characteristic of stories employing <a href="/keyword/magical-realism/" >magical realism</a> . GUIDED PRACTICE As a class, read the next page together identifying various literary devices including any elements of <a href="/keyword/magical-realism/" >magical realism</a> . Monitor students as they practice highlighting only key words and phrases and making detailed notes in margin that offer not only the identification of a literary term, but also an interpretation of the term and how it works to develop the story. INDEPENDENT PRACTICE Students will read the remainder of the passage on their own and annotate for various literary elements including <a href="/keyword/magical-realism/" >magical realism</a> . APPLICATION In a class discussion, the teacher will ask guiding questions to make sure the students understand certain unique aspects of the passage: 1. At what point in the story does the reader know that it includes elements of fantasy? 2. What might be why the old man is called an "angel"? 3. Discuss the effectiveness of blending real and unreal elements to tell a story. 4. How might the tone of the passage change if there was dialogue? 5. What are some symbolic elements that emerge from the reading? 6. What insight about humanity can be gained from the angel's treatment by the townspeople? Assessment(s) The students will respond to four open-ended questions that call upon the reader to discuss the description and treatment of the angel using inferences based on the magical elements in the story. The instructor should monitor students as they work, helping them interpret elements of the text that might seem ambiguous. Interdisciplinary Connections Have students view a movie clip, or other media, to look for other stories that employ <a href="/keyword/magical-realism/" >magical realism</a> as a way of providing insight into the way humans think and behave. (Books and films such as Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and The Chronicles of Narnia use this technique.) 13 14 15 16 17 18 Open-ended items for "A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings" Using your annotated reading, answer each of the following questions supporting responses with evidence from the text. 1. How does the old man's physical description contrast with the idea that he is an angel? ___________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________ 2. Discuss the angel's treatment by the townspeople and Elisenda's idea of charging admission to see him. What does this say about the values of these people? ___________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________ 3. What is ironic about this statement regarding the angel: "His only supernatural virtue seemed to be patience"? ___________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________ 19 2. What is a possible theme for this story? ___________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________ 20 Lesson Three Mysticism: a reading of "The Three Sisters" By Sandra Cisneros Description Students will read the vignette "The Three Sisters" for traditional and mystic elements. TEKS Objectives 7A Students will establish a purpose for reading such as to discover, interpret, and enjoy. 7G Students will draw inferences such as conclusions, generalizations, and predictions and support them with text evidence and experience. 8C Read world literature, including classic and contemporary works. 9A Recognize distinctive and shared characteristics of cultures through reading. 10B Students will use elements of text to defend his/her own responses and interpretation. Teacher to Teacher Notes This lesson will build upon Lesson One: Myths and Lesson Two: <a href="/keyword/magical-realism/" >magical realism</a> . In this reading, students will examine a contemporary Mexican-American author for her use of mystic and traditional Mexican elements in her literature. To begin, make sure students have a basic understanding of literary terms such as characterization, simile, metaphor, symbolism, imagery, figurative language and inference before the reading so that they can identify these elements in the text. Each student will need a printed copy of the passage as well as a highlighter and a pen or pencil with which to make marginal notes. Make a transparency of the passage to demonstrate this skill for students so they can see how to properly highlight and how to make marginal notes. Prompt students to ask questions, make comments, and connect these elements with other stories they have read, as marginal notes/comments. Monitor students as they highlight, making sure they highlight only key words and phrases and that they make detailed notes in the margin that include not only the identification of the word , but also an interpretation or the significance of the highlighted text. Materials Printed copies of the passage entitled, "The Three Sisters" (from The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros) A transparency of "The Three Sisters" Pens, pencils, highlighters Webster's Collegiate Dictionary Resources & Technology http://www.randomhouse.com/acmart/catalog/display.pperl?isbn=9780679734772&view= tg (A link to background on Cisneros and her work The House on Mango Street) http://www.princeton.edu/~howarth/557/house_bio.html (A link to background on the author) http://www.justreadnow.com/strategies/active.htm (A presentation on active reading strategies) http://www.hrs.pvt.k12.ca.us/us/learning_skills/lessons/sample_annotation.htm (Sample annotated text) 21 Procedures/Activities MODELED/SHARED As a class, read the vignette entitled "The Three Sisters." At the overhead, demonstrate for students how to highlight key words and phrases and to make detailed marginal notes that include the identification of various literary devices as well as an interpretation of what they mean within the context of the story. For example, you may want to point out that "They came with the wind...barely noticed" gives the reading a mystic quality, as these three sisters appear out of what seems like nowhere. Prompt the students to question, "Who are these women? From where are they? Why are they at this funeral? To whom are they related?" Students may want to note that references to the wind, moon, and the description of these mysterious women work to create their mystic personas. GUIDED PRACTICE As a class, students will read the first two paragraphs together, identifying the various literary devices and noting how they work to characterize the three sisters. Monitor students as they practice highlighting only key words and phrases and making detailed notes in margin that offer not only the identification of a literary term, but also an interpretation of the term and how it works to characterize Esperanza and the three sisters.
