TITLE: "Guided Reading for Hispanic Civilization, Hispanic Thought and Spanish Composition and Discussion"

DURATION: October 1, 1999 to May 31, 2000

DESCRIPTION: This guided reading project is designed to develop on line materials for the three upper division spanish courses currently by Professor John F. Uggen. I am requesting the hiring of Suzanne Koestner as a student assistant to scan in slides taken of Guatemala and Ecuador for inclusion in a guided reading course for Spanish Composition and Discussion, Hispani Civilization, and Hispanic Thought. In addition Ms. Koestner will assist in the development a web page for each of the above mentioned courses. The guided reading segment of the project will incorporate the slides which have been digitized into pedagogical units on Ecuador and Guatemala which are included in the text book Tradicion y Cambio for the Civilization course and the novel El viejo que leia novelas de amor for the Composition course. The Civilization course will also use the Garcia Marquez book Miguel Littin, clandestino en Chile and Ms. Koestner will help in the digitizing of materials to be used in the guided reading materials on this book. Prof. Uggen will be working directly with Ms. Koestner to further improve his skills in web page development and the development of on line materials for his courses. This project is seen as preliminary to an expected summer stipend for Prof. Uggen to develop guided reading materials for his Hispanic Thought for which he intends to request Mellon funds to take digital images in Peru and Chile during the summer of 2000.

OUTCOME: The purpose of this proposal is to produce digital images of a large number of slides and digital photographs taken in Ecuador and Guatemala for inclusion in the development of guided reading materials for the three upper division courses taught by Professor Uggen. The desired outcome is to incorporate the results of this project into courses which are to be made available to studens on line. An additional desired outcome is to increase the technological proficiency of Prof. Uggen and to add an on line component to the courses he teaches at the upper division level.

TIMELINE: Project began October 1, 1999, and will continue through May, 2000. It is calculated that the student assistant will work approximately 10 hours per wee for 20 weeks, the duration of the project. The student will be scanning and digitizing slides from Ecuador and Guatemala and developing a web page for Professor Uggen. The work will also include developing guided reading materials on the digitized slides for use in Prof. Uggen's Spanis Composition and Discussion, Hispanic Civilization, and Hispanic Thought courses. The guided reading materials will be used tested during the spring, 2000 semester and will be part of an on-going project to develop guided reading materials for all of the upper division courses taught by Prof. Uggen.
