They have been featured on NBC News and in the Huffington Post.<\/p>\r\n\r\n Images of Cuba: Bringing Cuba to Life in your Classroom with Photographs<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n Students will draw on what they know or imagine about Cuba in order to engage existing knowledge, perceptions, and questions they might have about it. They will then review photographs from these collections, describe what they see, and then read statements by the authors. They will engage in a rhetorical analysis of the photograph—what aspects of the photograph communicated to the student? What did those aspects communicate? Teachers using the text With Eyes and Soul: Images of Cuba <\/em>can have students analyze photographs on their own, and then with the poems the authors have paired with each photograph (in Spanish and English).<\/p>\r\n\r\n Depending on the educational context, this unit ends with a creative exploration: a photographic project and gallery, a writing activity, or with a student-driven research project. <\/p>\r\n\r\n Objectives:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n Lesson Plans<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/i>Beyond Buena Vista - Cuba\u2019s Nueva Trova and Canci\u00f3n Cubana Contemporanea<\/a><\/h4><\/div>
