Abstract | This unit provides relevant material for teaching Rudolfo Anaya's "Bless Me, Ultima." This material gives the classroom teacher the opportunity to focus more deeply on the teaching of Anaya's work, especially in the areas of Mexican history and folklore on which the book is based. Objectives for "Bless Me, Ultima" include: (1) students will gain familiarity with aspects of Mexican history and folklore related to the novel; (2) students will gain familiarity with rural Chicano life in the southwestern United States at the middle of the 20th century; and (3) students will gain familiarity with the concept of archetypes, both literary and cultural. Introductory notes briefly describe Anaya's life, early influences on his writing, and related history. Chapter notes are included to accompany the reading of the novel. (Contains 20 references.)
