Eva Perón ¿ Sinner or Saint?. Introducción.
E N D
Introducción Some would say that Eva Duarte de Perón is one of the most notable and influential women of Latin America. She grew up in a poor family in the suburbs of Buenos Aires, Argentina. She always dreamed of being an actress and would do anything to meet and become friends with the people that would help her reach the top. Eventually, she became first lade of Argentina, living in the Casa Rosada. During her time as first lady, she created, among other things the Eva Perón foundation, an organization with the objective of providing social assistance. Her death, July 26, 1952 brought the nation to its knees and caused the people to analyze her contributions and detriments to argentine society. A question that remains today, was she a sinner or a saint?
Tarea You will separate into groups of four people and each person will have a specific role. You have to investigate your role and form an opinion about the essential question, was she a sinner or a saint? As a group you must come to an agreement in order to convince the argentine government, in other words your teacher, that Eva Perón was, on one hand, worthy of sainthood, or on the other hand, that she should be remembered as a sinner that stained our great nation. Remember, it is your responsibility as an individual to support your opinion so that it becomes the opinion of the group. You will present the decision of your group to the class and we are going to have a debate to determine her destiny.
