This lesson plan outlines two complete lessons to teach about indigenous cultures in Argentina. Lesson one focuses on the Kolla culture. Students will watch a video about the Kolla people, locate where they live on a map, research them further, and read an article discussing land rights issues facing the Kolla. The lesson aims to develop students' cultural awareness and empathy while revising language structures. Differentiation is considered for students with special needs through modifying reading materials.

This time, you will have to plan TWO COMPLETE LESSONS. Again, I recommend you work
collaboratively (in pairs).
- You must include use of ICT in this lesson. You have to include AT LEAST one of the following
resources: The National Anthem in Guarani http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDSF4vqLaMo,

Argentina: https://theculturetrip.com/south-america/argentina/articles/7-indigenous-cultures-you-
can-actually-visit-in-argentina/
- Make sure you use the lesson plan template.
- Revisit your Didactics materials, and bibliography on how teenagers learn and behave.
- Include the materials you are planning to use.
- You must achieve skill integration.
- In order to cater for possible SEN students, think of some differentiation that might be
planned.

Pre-reading:
The teacher will ask the students to make small groups and analyse the title of the text.
The learners should work together to pool their knowledge of this topic. Again, once the
group has finished, each group can share their ideas with the other groups. The teacher
will encourage Ss to write their assumptions.
After that she will encourage Ss to read the article silently and for the gist, and quickly
in order to get a general idea of it. Then she will encourage Ss to read the text again to
find specific information or unknown words.
“The Kolla of Argentina: Neoliberal Trends and the Promise of Law in the Process of
Reframing, Claiming and Maintaining Land Rights” by Courtney C. Nussbaumer Macalester
College, cnussbau@macalester.edu
Kolla History and Origins of the Movement
Tradition holds that the Kolla occupied their region for centuries, even before the
arrival of the Incas. In 1540 the Kolla came into contact with the Spaniards. After 110
years of resistance the Kolla finally lost one of their most important lands, the
Santiago Estate, to the hands of the invaders. After another 160 years Argentina
gained its independence, while the Kolla gained nothing. For decades public and
private owners of the Santiago Estate oppressed the Kolla through various means
(Occhipinti 2002). The Kolla were exploited for their work, forced to cut down their
own trees, evicted in the name of oil exploration and poisoned as mines were dug on
their lands and polluted their water.
The Kolla’s first step in achieving land rights was gaining recognition by the
government, which they did as early as the 1940s through the Malón de la Paz. In
1946, 160 men and nine women from different villages in the province of Jujuy and
Salta, marched 1100 miles to Buenos Aires on foot, by donkey and by horse. Led by
el teniente Bertonasco, a retired military lieutenant, they left their homes in February
of that year, shortly after Juan Perón won the presidential election. When the 169
Kollas arrived in Buenos Aires to petition Perón, the president greeted them
personally. However, a month later the Kolla were forcibly removed with the use of
tear gas, placed on trains and shipped back to Northwestern Argentina.
Post reading:

7. The teacher will ask Ss to work with a partner, and compare their assumptions. The
teacher will say:
- How was it?
She will ask them to read the text again and tick True or False to the following
assertions, and correct the false ones.
True False
The government of Argentina recognized that the lands of Santiago
Estate belonged to the Kolla.
The retired military leutenant, Bertonasco, believed that the Kolla had
to claim the land of Santiago Estate.
Peron ordered that the Kolla abandoned the city of Buenos Aires.
For a dyslexic student we will prepare a shorter version of the text and read it aloud for
them, and do the True/False activity orally to solve it together with the class. For
example:

Comentado [A6]: You may ask a more content-related
question, so as to check whether they got the idea.

8. Closure:
Timing: 5’
Once they have finished, the teacher will foster a group discussion by asking Ss’
opinions about the topic.
- Do you agree that the government of Argentina should recognize indigenous
people property rights over their ancestors’ territories? Why?
The teacher will encourage Ss to formulate complete answers:
- Yes, I think that…
- No, because I believe that…
- I’m not sure that...
For dyslexic students the teacher will write those phrases in different colors and explain
them by using body language (Gestures):
- Yes, I think that… :-)
- No, because I believe that… :-(
- I’m not sure that… (?)

indigenous cultures.
In groups of three or four, the teacher will ask them to browse the web and find out
about their location and language. Then she/he will ask Ss to create an interactive map
with the following tool https://www.genial.ly/es. (they have already worked on this tool at

indigenous culture chosen with the information taken from the link given.
For students with Asperger , the teacher adapts the text using a powerpoint
presentation .
Mapuches (You can access the PPT by clicking the word in blue)

how their thinking and ideas might have changed over time as they have developed
their understanding of indigenous cultures and their real situation in Argentina. The
teacher will ask students what they used to think about the topic when they started and
what they think about it now by using:
–– ‘I used to think...’
–– ‘Now I think...’

their opinion.
For dyslexic students the phrases will be colored, and the teacher will explain them. For

cultures and yellow for what you think now. The teacher will also use gestures.
Closure:
Timing: 5’
After students have completed the previous activity, the teacher will invite them to play a
game:

. For example:
Teacher:it is said that the mapuche….
Student: it is said that the mapuche are located….
Other student: it is said that the mapuche are located in Chubut... (and so on) .
