Information in this resource guide responded to teacher requests for supplemental historical and cultural classroom materials. The bilingual program for which this guide was designed has served schools in 3 different locales: a center-city area composed of housing projects and some individually owned homes, a suburban near-rural neighborhood of the same city, and a rural Central Texas town. Major topics were a historical background; an overview of Mexico; places to see; games; dances; legends, fables, and stories; and units for teaching Mexican American cultural heritage. A bibliography, a list of materials used by the Region XII Bilingual Program, and sources for these materials were also included. (PS)
