Description

Learn about Hispanic Heritage Month with our digital magazine written by a Hispanic author! In this magazine, you will learn about the beautiful mixed tapestry of the Hispanic-American experience in the past and today. You will start your lesson learning about the history of Hispanics in the Americas, the influence of Indigenous people in Latin America, and the cultural influence of Africans living in Latin America. Learn the difference between South American, Latin American, and Hispanic as terms to describe people. Discussion questions will spark conversations about Hispanic Heritage history. Experience a taste of Latin America with traditional Hispanic recipes from Argentina, the Dominican Republic, and more. Learn about the rich history of weaving and try it out for yourself. Then celebrate with your very own mini pinata! The lesson also includes profiles of famous Hispanic-Americans and decorations for your own Hispanic Heritage Month celebration.
