#YoProtesto: Student movements in modern times

Our next unit for AP Language will be built around education, especially access to it.  I’ve had a version of this unit marinating in my mind since Kara did a great unit about Chile’s student movement. With students leading the current national conversation on gun access and school safety, it occurred to me that there are strong parallels between the two movements.

This unit is still in development, but we are kicking things off with one of my favorite resources:  Veinte Mundos.  There’s an article there about cacerolazos which will give us a strong point of cultural reference for what we will be studying.  I prepared this document (Veinte mundos cacerolazo) and Quizlet set to support students’ reading experience. Enjoy!
