The Weekly Text, September 23, 2016, Hispanic Heritage Month 2016 Week II: A Reading and Comprehension Worksheet on Jose Marti

As I mentioned last week, it is National Hispanic Heritage Month. For the duration of this observance, I’ll post readings and comprehension worksheets that teachers might find useful for edifying students on Hispanic history. I’ll do so with brevity, because it’s the first month of the school year, and I am as busy as I always am in these weeks.

This week’s Text is a reading on Jose Marti, the nineteenth-century martyr to Cuban independence; here is a comprehension worksheet to accompany it. And that’s enough said.

If you find typos in these documents, I would appreciate a notification. And, as always, if you find this material useful in your practice, I would be grateful to hear what you think of it. I seek your peer review.

The Weekly Text, September 16, 2016, Hispanic Heritage Month 2016 Week I: A Reading and Comprehension Worksheet on Cesar Chavez

Whew: busy week.

Are you aware that yesterday inaugurated Hispanic Heritage Month?  For the next five weeks, I’ll post readings related to this honorific month.

To that end, and in somewhat indecent haste (I have to teach in half-an-hour), here is a reading on Cesar Chavez and an accompanying reading comprehension worksheet.

If you find typos in these documents, I would appreciate a notification. And, as always, if you find this material useful in your practice, I would be grateful to hear what you think of it. I seek your peer review.
