5. Reflection:
In this lesson plan I hope that my students will have achieved an understanding for
Mexican-American history. Hopefully through this understanding they can gain respect
for cultural differences. Students will have learned about difficulties Mexican-Americans
faced in the school system, discrimination, and the many contributions Mexican-
Americans have made to the United States. Students will be able to discuss with the class
about different cultures and work together to create a mural, which will allow them to
engage with one another. I think the strengths of this lesson plan is the fact that students
will be able to create a mural together and get involved with their other classmates. I
think the weakness of this plan could be that maybe students who are shy could have
difficulty creating something for the mural. They might feel the need to hold back.
