Continuing with this blog’s underwhelming–for which I apologize profusely–observance of Hispanic Heritage Month 2023, here is a Cultural Literacy worksheet on Bolivia. This is a full-page document with a reading of four sentences and nine comprehension questions. The asymmetry of this worksheet may require some explanation.
The first sentence in this reading situates Bolivia in continental South America with a series; that series could easily be broken up and turned into four separate, easier-to-use independent clauses. The next sentence is a compound separated by a semicolon. In other words, another sentence you might consider breaking up and turning into two separate independent clauses. The second two sentences are clear in their declarations, and should be easy for emergent readers and English language learners to process. I wrote nine comprehension questions because I decided to take the facts in the reading one at a time, which I suppose is how I imagine readers will take them.
If you find typos in this document, 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.
