Description

This interdisciplinary lesson plan explores the complex topic of globalization through the lens of maquiladoras in Mexico, with a focus on their impact on workers, pollution, and human rights. Designed for a ninth-grade classroom, the lesson integrates history, Spanish, science, and English to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the global supply chain and its local consequences. This topic will explore the complex issues of both globalization and marginalization and its impact on immigration through a modern-day, student-centered, lens. Further, this will be applied to classrooms in the United States with diverse student populations, such as students who are culturally and linguistically diverse.
