    Chapter 9 Assignments and Activities

    The prompts on this page are ideas for interactive assignments and/or activities used to extend learning from this chapter. These can be used to further understanding, retention, and ownership of learner content.

    Group Blog Assignment

    Demonstrate your interpretation of and engagement with a topic of your choice related to Chicanx and Latinx Health. This may be based on an activist movement, advocacy campaign, healthcare issue, illness or disease, environmental justice, or more. 

    Address the following general prompts:

    You should use multiple sources to inform your contribution, such as written text, images, music, videos, and more. 

    For an individual assignment, you can complete this independently. It can also be completed as a group, either by having each student complete an individual assignment and sharing it in a group format (e.g., Canvas discussion, free blog site, online Jamboard), or by having people work in groups to formulate and execute their blog contributions.

    You can specify the format or a range of options for format to make the blog post assignment more engaging. For example, instead of a traditional blog post, students can make Instagram stories or short videos.

    Food Access Activity

    For this assignment, you will explore the Food Access Research Atlas provided by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to learn more about the food access in your local areas. Follow the steps listed to complete the assignment:
