Discussion Questions (Wednesday Reading)

Hey guys, 

Here are my question for Fridays discussion.

-What was El Plan de Atzlán's goal?
-How did El Plan de Atzlán differ from other Latino Organizations?
-Do you think the groups goals were good for trying to accomplish their specific task?

-Who is Joaquín?
-Do you think from the poem that Latinos preferred the Spanish Rule over the American?
-What is the authors disgust with the Anglos? (Side from the obvious stealing of the land)
-What do you think the overall message is of "Yo Soy Joaquín"?

-What were the main goals of the Chicana movement?
-Do you feel the men had a right to say that they were dividing the Chicano movement?
-How were Chicanas similar to the Anglo women and how did they differ?
-Do you think it was smart for the Chicanas to compare the Chicano men to that of Anglos in order to get their point across?
-What were the main objectives of the Workshops and what were some of their "rules"?

-What was the main idea from Notes from a Chicana Coed?
-What is the tone behind the Chicana in the poem?  Is she angry, passive, accepting of her treatment, ready to revolt...?
