Ampa ceip gabriela mistral biography

Gabriela Mistral's rich imagination is fueled by the majestic mountains and lush valleys surrounding her small Chilean village.  These brilliant images come alive in her journal writings, and how she develops her vivid poetry and fanciful fables will complement techniques taught in classrooms today. 

Her passion for teaching brings her to Santiago where students will join her in the fun of a regional dance at the Independence Day celebration.  She then hesitantly enters her poems in Chile's national writing contest, is stunned when she is awarded first prize, and ultimately becomes the first Hispanic writer to win the Nobel Prize in literature (1945).

Throughout this engaging reenactment of Gabriela's life, children will participate in some simple Spanish and become familiar with many aspects of South American culture.
