10 Organize discussion groups, and remind them of the class discussion norms.
11 Monitor discussions and check that students are prepared and
are asking questions to keep the discussion moving. Set a time limit for discussions. Then, ask volunteers to share a few of their key ideas about Frida Kahlo and her cultural identity.
12 After students participate in the group discussion, have them use their notes to complete the Writing to Sources prompt either in class
or for homework. During the next class period, have them rejoin their discussion groups and exchange papers for a peer review of syntax.

Two Perspectives on Cultural Identity
My Notes
Working from the Text
7. Organize your notes from both texts (the film clip and the informational text) so that you can come to the discussion prepared with well-reasoned, text-based responses to address Kalho’s life, art, and cultural identity.
Group Discussion: What did you learn about Frida Kahlo’s life, art, and cultural identity? What details are emphasized in each text to support your interpretation of this artist and how she depicts her cultural identity in her work? In your discussion, be sure to:
• Adhere to the class norms for discussions.
• Present thoughtful, well-reasoned ideas.
• Use textual evidence to support responses to questions or statements.
Writing to Sources: Explanatory Text
Explain how Kahlo expresses her cultural identity in her art, drawing on examples from both sources. In your writing, be sure to do the following:
• Begin with a clear thesis that states your position. Include a clear definition of Kahlo’s cultural identity, as you understand it.
• Include direct quotations and specific examples from the texts to support your claims. Introduce and punctuate all quotations correctly.
• Include transitions between points and a concluding statement.
• Vary your syntax, using a variety of sentence types.
Collaborative Conversation: Exchange your response to the Writing Prompt with a peer. Consider the syntactical choices they have made in their writing. What is the effect they are trying to achieve? Were they successful? What suggestions do you have for improvement?
