The Elsa Cortina Project
The subject for our biographic narrative is Dr. Elsa Cortina, an emerita professor of Spanish at Calvin College who came to the U.S. as a Cuban refugee after the Cuban revolution. The project began with a series of video recorded interviews with Dr. Cortina in which she narrated the story of her life. These units include video clips taken from the interviews, materials for pre- and post-viewing activities, and resources for guided reflection activities. Through a variety of exercises students will be encouraged to adopt a countercultural, critical stance toward the prevailing culture from a faith-based perspective. As we anticipate continued work developing curricular materials based on this narrative, it is our hope that these materials will spark discussion, foment ideas, and provide important feedback that will result in offering our students a deeper and more meaningful experience in their world language learning.
