Teens in Latin America and the Caribbean generally face a difficult path to adulthood. Poverty and unemployment, violence, political instability, and emigration are frequently the norm in their native countries. Those from poorer families must often work as well as attend school, and opportunities for higher education and good jobs are limited. Wealthier teens, on the other hand, are sheltered from harshness and enjoy private schools, vacations abroad, and access to American consumer products.

Designed to foster multiple forms of intelligence, Many Ways to Learn presents ten theme-based activity units--one for each month of the school year--filled with suggestions for hands-on activities in eight different modes. Each unit integrates math, science, social studies, and language arts and can be used alone or integrated into an existing curriculum. This book also includes sample lesson plans, blackline masters, parent letters, guidelines for creating multiple intelligence units, plus poetry, stories, fingerplays and more to encourage diversity in lesson planning.
