If you would like to add another online lesson, download my Frida Kahlo 5th Grade & 6th Grade Close Reading & Distance Learning Activity*. This would give the students more background knowledge before they start writing the biography. It comes in Google Forms and PDF formats for distance learning, or for printing.*
Please ensure when you download this resource into Google Drive that you are logged in to the gmail account where you wish to store the activity. In the past teachers have downloaded resources into their school account in error. Thanks :)
