It contains four lesson plans: (1) "The Race of Toad and Deer" (Guatemala), mask and play, grades 2-4; (2) "People of Corn" (Guatemala), textile pattern bookmark, grades 6-8; (3) "The Woman Who Outshone the Sun" (Oaxaca, Mexico), animal sculpture, grades 4-8; and (4) "Cuckoo/Cucu" (Mexico), ornament and puppet and play, grades K-2. Each lesson details time needed, materials needed, objectives, evaluation methods, and activity procedures.
