My students completed this when I was out one day with a sick child. They got reading practice and gained some cultural knowledge. Several commented on how interesting the information was.

I love cultural resources about holidays from the Comprehensible Classroom. I can always count on the multiple leveled, comprehensible texts being provided. I used the easiest text and activity in my 8th grade Spanish I class, and it went well. Thank you Martina for helping me make fascinating cultural content accessible to my novices. I was going to use the most detailed version of the text with my middle school heritage class, but we ran out of time.

This is a great reading and I love how there are different levels for differentiation. This was a perfect review for my Sp 3 students. Mil gracias :)

I appreciate that this resource includes different versions of the text for varied levels of ability. I used the more complex version with one of my upper level classes (students in their 4th and 5th years of Spanish) and the text was manageable while still presenting an academic challenge.
