The six thematic teaching units, designed for teaching Spanish to native speakers in the American Southwest, are a result of a July 1993 conference of 30 middle school and high school teachers. Each unit was produced by a group of teachers, and is entirely or primarily in Spanish. The units contain lesson outlines, activities, tests, samples of student work, and readings. Unit topics include: family relationships; personal stories; the immigrant; careers; and prejudices and stereotypes. (MSE)
