Two culture units about Chile. Please preview.

Be bold! Try new subjects! My students loved these units.

Unit 1. El cielo del sur

When you look up to the sky, do you really see a Big Dipper or do you join the stars in such a way that you visualize a dipper? When Magellan looked at the sky, he saw a cross and called it the Southern Cross. But when the indigenous people of Chile saw the same stars, they saw the head of a bird. Compare the two interpretations. Relate them to the power telescopes and the scientific discoveries in the Atacama Desert. This unit helps students understand multiple realities.
