Puerto Rico
MAPA CULTURAL
Unit
2
Warm-up/ Independent starter
.
Students compare the map of Mexico from Unit 1
with the map of Puerto Rico. They write five
sentences with ideas about possible similarities
and differences between Mexico and Puerto Rico.
Preparation
.
Project a map of Puerto Rico as students read the
opening text. Use a pointer to link each sentence
to the map.
.
Write the words
archipiélago
and
isla
on the board
and ask students to say what an
archipelago is
(a group of islands) and to look up the definition
of an island (land surrounded by water on all
sides). What body of water surrounds Puerto
Rico?
.
Ask students to read the two speech bubbles.
Point out that the word
ciudadano
(citizen) comes
from
ciudad
.
.
Ask students to think about the school systems
in Puerto Rico. Do they think that Puerto Rican
children are required to learn the same lessons
as American children since all Puerto Rican
citizens are also United States citizens? How
would the Puerto Rican curriculum be similar and
different to that of the United States?
Teaching suggestions
DEVELOPING LEARNERS
r
You may want to help students understand
the map and the information on the page by
bringing books or using the Internet to find
information.
r
Ask them to find specific things on the map
or the resources they have available. Let
them work in groups and give them support
when needed.
EXPANDING LEARNERS
r
On the board, list six important cities of
interest in Puerto Rico (such as Mayagüez,
Río Piedras, and Cayey) as well as six
famous Puerto Rican landscapes (such as
the
Laguna del Condado
,
Isla Verde
Beach,
and
El Yunque
).
r
Ask students to relate what they have seen
about Puerto Rico so far with these places.
Ask them to compare and contrast them
with places they are familiar with in the
continental United States.
