The Surrender Tree Study Guide Name ____________________________________ Choose one of the following: History Timeline of Early Cuban History Create an initial timeline of early Cuban History using the text of The Surrender Tree. Then, using appropriate print and online resources, research early Cuban History in greater detail. Create a timeline of early Cuban History with descriptions and illustrations of important events. The Surrender Tree also includes a timeline at the end of the book under Chronology. Important People In the section “Historical Note” at the end of the book, Engle writes that the majority of the characters are historical figures. Choose one character to research. Choose from the following: Rosario Castellanos Castellanos or Rosa la Bayamesa, Jose Francisco Varona, El Grillo, or El Joven. Write a paper or do a presentation for the class. Concentration Camps The words “concentration camp” are often associated with The Holocaust in World War II, but there have been other significant uses of concentration camps that are often overlooked. The use of concentration camps in Cuba as referred to in The Surrender Tree is just one example. They were also used in the western United States during World War II. Research these and other examples of the use of concentration camps during wars. Pick two examples and write a paper that compares and contrasts them. What do they have in common? Why were they used? Did the majority of people at the time accept their use? Was there any political resistance to their implementation? (This could be in paragraph form or two lists of similarities and differences) Medicinal Plants Research the use of medicinal plants, perhaps those specific to Cuba or the Caribbean. Write a paper about one or more of these plants, their use, and any interesting historical facts or stories. adopted from https://teachinglatinamericathroughliterature.wordpress.com/the-surrender-tree/
