This is a reading we created. It consists of 5 journal entries in SPANISH of a trip through Mexico. Then, it has comprehension questions in ENGLISH to help the students get through the reading. This would work with any curriculum, but it pairs nicely with Realidades 1, chapter 8A. It is similar to the Peru reading on pg 390, so you could use one in class and one as a test reading, or just get extra practice reading in class! *All of our materials are designed with wide margins and no unnecessa

About the store

Experience

I am a gringa with a Master's in English and excellent writing and organizational skills. I minored in Spanish and studied abroad in college. After grad school, I moved to Mexico to teach English for 2 years, where I met my husband. We moved to the U.S. in 2015 and I have been teaching Spanish in NC ever since.

Teaching style

I believe in a proficiency-based teaching style, aligned with the Common Core standards. I teach at a school in a low-income area. We have limited resources and many of my students are below grade level in English, so teaching them Spanish is a challenge. All the materials I develop take these factors into account. *All of our materials are designed with wide margins and no unnecessary images, using as few pages as possible. We do this to save paper and ink, for high school teachers who want more "serious" handouts and who are working with limited resources.*
