OK, here is a Cultural Literacy worksheet on Central America. This is a full-page worksheet with a four-sentence reading and six comprehension questions. Beware the first sentence in this reading, which is a relatively complicated compound separated by a semicolon. The second clause is a list of all the Central American nations. This sentence may need a bit of revision for emergent readers and English language learners. Fortunately, this document, like most of what you will find on Mark’s Text Terminal, is formatted in Microsoft Word. Essentially, then, it is an open-source document which you may revise for your students’s needs.

Continuing with material to observe Hispanic Heritage Month 2023, here is a Cultural Literacy worksheet on Caracas. This is a half-page worksheet with a one-sentence reading and two comprehension questions. Take note, please, of the fact that the reading’s one sentence is 26 words separated into two independent clauses with a semicolon. Depending on the students using this, you may want to do something with that sentence, e.g. breaking it into two sentences, each with its own period. That move will probably need a corollary move of composing another question or two–easily done in this Microsoft Word document.
