9. REQUEST FROM SOCIA BETTY HOLLAND.
Hello: I need some help. A while back
someone wrote about how to
set
up a lesson plan based on the murals of
Diego Rivera and others. Do
you know where I could start seaching?
I alread searched the
internet
but I only get a few sites with a limited
number of murals but no
history related to the murals. I
want to teach a class on the
culture
and history of Mexico as depicted in the
murals. I'm looking for the
ones depicting the Conquest of Mexico and
the early history of
Mexico
as depicted through the murals. Someone
suggested several Web sites
that had lesson plans for this theme, but
I did not keep the email
with all the web sites. Do you remember
seeing it somewhere?
I truly appreciate any help you can give me.
Sincerely,
Betty Holland
