Students will become familiar with the geography, key historical events, social structure, culture, and elites of three Pre-Columbian civilizations and gain background knowledge and rare-word vocabulary from a specific domain that will enhance their reading comprehension of nonfiction text.

I have taught this unit for several years as a full-time, certified Elementary and Secondary teacher at the District of Columbia Public Schools. As an undergraduate at the University of California, San Diego, I attended Third College (since renamed Thurgood Marshall College), dedicated to Third World Studies, Race, and Ethnicity.  I conducted a study tour through Mexico, spending extensive time at the Museo Nacional de Antropología in Mexico City.  As a full-time teacher in Washington, DC, I led numerous field trips to the Dumbarton Oaks Museum to view its collection of Pre-Columbian art.  Additionally, I taught for 8 years at a public elementary school with a demographic that is predominantly made up of children from Mexico and Central America.  I currently reside in the same neighborhood where my former students live.  I received an Excellence Award by the Educational Testing Service for  Outstanding performance on the PRAXIS II Test for Social Studies Content Knowledge. My unique expertise is in developing and teaching content-rich, humanities units that integrate geography, history, literature, science, art, and music.  Additionally, I have developed a repertoire of strategies for teaching reading in the content area to intermediate-age students.
