ABSTRACT: This teacher's guide to the "Carrascolendas 400
Series," a bilingual (Spanish/English) television program,
provides information about the main points made in each
program. The guide gives teachers tips on how to use the
television series to explore important issues with their
students, and the "activity corner" section of each program
description in the guide can serve to illustrate some
appropriate activities for children in the elementary
grades. Carrascolendas (the name is that of an imaginary
village whose inhabitants live a bilingual and
multicultural way of life) has as its goal the affirmation
of Hispanic values for Hispanic children in the preschool
and elementary levels of school (5-8 years old). The series
seeks to transmit specific beliefs about persons, cultures,
and the enviornment. These beliefs are as follows: (1)
mastering one's self is important--this includes expressing
one's feelings; (2) being able to understand and speak two
languages is better than being able to communicate in only
one; (3) cultural diversity is a good thing if people work
together; (4) people from all groups and social levels
should be respected as persons; (5) people can make an
important difference in other people's lives, and the
quality of our lives depends to a great extent on how we
treat others and how others treat us. (SR)
