Here are the teacher pack items for Mexico: Government and Economy:
Overview In this experience, students explore a timeline of significant political events in the development of the Mexican government. They learn about the constitution of 1917 and the form of government created as a result. Then they compare Mexico’s government to the U.S. government. Students are introduced to the economy of Mexico, and focus on the history of chocolate as part of the economy past and present. Finally, students consider what it would be like to use an agricultural product as a form of money. Objectives:
When Mexico gained independence from Spain in the early 1800s, the country entered a long period of political change. Leaders disagreed over how power should be organized, what rights citizens should have, and how the national government should work. Over time, these debates helped shape Mexico’s modern system of government.
In this experience, you will examine how Mexico’s government developed, learn about the Constitution of 1917 and the government it established, and explore important features of Mexico’s economy today.
