Do you struggle to incorporate real-world, authentic reading in your Spanish classroom? This amazing interpretive reading activity about the life and accomplishments of Martin Luther King, Jr. will get your kids reading and analyzing an authentic resource from the Spanish-speaking world.

In this activity, your students will:

• identify vocabulary related to the civil rights movement
• determine the main idea
• identify supporting details
• guess the meaning of words based on the context
• answer comprehension questions
• compare and contrast the US Civil Rights Movement with movements from other countries
• write follow-up questions from the infographic

This reading and writing activity makes a great addition to any unit on human rights or global challenges, from Spanish 2 through AP (as an introduction to the unit). It also makes a great pre-reading activity for an article about human rights or the life of MLK, Jr (there are links to two suggested articles in the product and a short video). There are two versions of the handout: version 1 has all directions and questions in English, while version 2 has all directions and questions in Spanish.

PLEASE NOTE: the infographic is NOT included with this product due to copyright laws and you must access it at the following link: infographic. I would recommend printing and laminating the infographic, projecting it on your board, or posting it to Google Classroom, Edmodo, or Schoology for students to access it. Each handout includes the link to the image at the top as well as a QR code to the image at the bottom.

Want an engaging way to teach about women that changed the world?

This is a nonfiction biographical reading passage about Rosa Parks as a Black Changemaker and a Female Leader. Students can use this as a jumping off point for a research project or for Women's History Month or Black History Month.

DIFFERENTIATED LEVELS FOR ALL LEARNERS

- Early elementary (1-3)

- Upper elementary (4-6)

- Complex Readers (7-12)

*Each newsletter is 2 pages.

Information on...

➡️ Early Life

➡️ Career

➡️ Interesting Facts

➡️ Influence

INCLUDED- Reading Comprehension Questions! Differentiated and can be used with any reading passage about an influential female leader. Perfect for close reading!

• Colored and black-line version
• Reading comprehension questions for early elementary (1-3) and separate worksheet for upper elementary (4-6)

This Figurative Language Short Passage Set about Rosa Parks is a no-prep, printable close reading activity that's perfect for middle school and high school. Use it during Women's History Month or any time of the year! Featuring Rosa Parks, this is a 216-word passage filled with 15 examples of figurative language, such as hyperbole, metaphor, simile, and personification. I’ve found that although my students can tell me the definition of these terms, simile is the only one they can truly pick out in a text. As a result, their writing is filled with overused similes that need work! This figurative language passage set is rigorous, uses higher-level words and phrases, and in addition to merely identifying the different types, students will be asked to discuss the impact it has on the reader, as they’re asked to do on standardized testing. Check out my other figurative language passage sets here!

Simply print and go! There is truly no preparation needed, which is why this set is perfect to leave for sub plans, bell ringers, homework, test prep, review or assessment!

*As an optional review activity, use my No-prep Four Corners Figurative Language Activity resource for a fun whole-group game, then use this passage set for assessment!
Activity:
Students can complete all three worksheets as part of a packet, but I suggest using one each day. If you teach allusion, alliteration, idiom, or onomatopoeia, you can ask students to include those in Task 2 where they will be asked to continue the passage using a similar writing style. I have left some blanks on the checklist for this very purpose.

Reflection:
The class can review the answers and comments as a whole group when the activity is complete. You’ll be surprised how much better they’ll get at figurative language after being exposed to some high-quality examples!
