Frontiers and Bridges Between Languages, Cultures and Countries
Picture
We are all trying to find ourselves, and Chela is no different, except she straddles two governments, two geographic regions, and two cultures under the United States sovereignty during a time when the Panama Canal was much disputed. It is through her eyes we learn of this pseudo-American lifestyle. Like Hong Kong, which was turned over to China, the Panama Canal was turned over to the Panamanians. What was it like for her?

​The series, “Brown Girl, Brown Girl, Hasn’t Anyone,” has two versions: an illustrated version and a memoir. The illustrated version can be used with the reluctant learner and/or for workshops. The memoir can be used to teach how to write memoirs, because it goes deeper into her life. 

​“Brown Girl, Brown Girl, Hasn’t Anyone,” is scaffolded because it, too, straddles across different age groups and different learning styles. Immigration and geography are two areas of disciplines that will ensure compassion and empathy all the while deepening an understanding of geopolitics.

    • "Soccer ball, soccer ball, what do you see," so begins each page. Catastrophes and calamities abound in this book. Scientific language development is the thrust of this book masquerade via various teaching methodologies: call-and-response, pointing, and repetition.

​Beautiful Virginia Beach stretches almost five miles and is flanked by the Atlantic Ocean and sprawling residential hotels. Chela got up close and personal on her daily walks with many of its residents, their dogs, and their habits. Bench press-ers, surfers, and dog walkers, runners, sailors and tankers, bikers, skaters, and people watchers are a sight much to admire. While Virginia Beach is a destination site, “Ruff, Ruff on Virginia Beach” is a picture book that can be used alongside teaching parts of speech, namely, adjectives and adverbs.

​A beaver can no longer play in an ailing river and takes his soccer ball on an adventure through the forest in search of the cause. He comes across some flowers and some bears and a cat and a dog. While older children and adults may know the cause, the end provides introspection. Great for Earth Day, children's theatre, and summer camps.

​A peasant girl plays the role of the Blessed Mary in a rendition of the first Christmas, but unlike most school plays, the author goes much deeper throughout the play drawing parallels between the Old Testament and the New Testament, and thus incorporating middle schoolers from the theological perspective.

​Catholics were chased underground when the king was unable to divorce his wife. Catholics devise a song to teach their faith in what has become a very catchy popular Christmas song. Match each number with the dogmas and doctrines of the faith. Great for the yearly Christmas school plays and pageants, not to mention drama clubs.

​Where did the piñata come from? What is its history? The seven deadly sins are one thing, but their virtues are another. “The Story of the Piñata” started off as a 7-conical shape for a reason. The author reveals a historical perspective that helps the audience to understand other cultures, while becoming responsibly acculturated.

A new worker’s movement is on the march. Much unhappiness is evident every which way, in every cluster of society. The author uses a rainbow to blast this phenomenon, using movement. The protagonist ascends each color of the rainbow and heightens each conflict affecting today’s workers. In no order, shape or form, the author brings to mind the seven principles of Catholic Social Teaching to display the angst that worries today’s workers. The protagonist appeals to examine one’s own conscience.

​What makes a rainbow is secondary to the theme but find the answer at the end of the book when you take on the scientific method.
