Two Perspectives on Cultural Identity
Reading
Purpose (video clip and
art):
What key ideas and details help you understand Kahlo’s life, art, and cultural identity?
Video Clip:
intro to The Life and Times of Frida
Kahlo
Discuss article – share evidence
.
Consider
: What did you learn from the article that you didn’t in the video? What did you learn from the video that you didn’t in the article? What is the purpose of ‘reading’ them both?Slide5
Self-Portrait on the Borderline Between Mexico and the United States (Frida Kahlo)
OPTIC analysis
How did the information about the artist’s life help you to understand the artwork?
What is the conflict presented in the artwork?
How does Frida Kahlo’s painting represent her cultural identity?Slide6
Cultural identity writing
(narrative or poem)
What is your clear
and strongly maintained central idea (e.g., internal/external conflict
– as in Two Kinds - or
central
metaphor/concept – food as in Ethnic Hash)
to focus the
essay?
What examples/evidence did you use to create
a vivid sense of personal cultural
identity?
Where are you ‘telling’ instead of ‘showing’? How can you change it? (next slide for example)
What is your organizational strategy? How does it create
clarity and
cohesion? Where are your transition words? How does it begin? How does it end?
Where is your natural voice? Does it sound forced? Look for ways to be original. Slide7

Examples of Parallel Structure
“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair
.” (The Tale of Two Cities, Charles Dickens)
“What the hammer? what the
chain?/In
what furnace was thy
brain?/What
the anvil? what dread
grasp/Dare
its deadly terrors clasp
?” (The
Tyger
, William Blake)
“I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident; that all men are created
equal…I
have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their
character…I
have a dream today
.” (I Have a Dream, Martin Luther King, Jr.)Slide9
