I love all of Martina's non-fiction cultural texts. They are so easy to use in class for cultural enrichment or to connect to a particular topic we are studying, AND for additional easy-to-read non-fiction content in my classroom library :D

I'm always looking for good authentic readings for my students that aren't too easy or too hard. I love that this is based on fact and is interesting. The kids did great with the few comprehension questions and were engaged with the material.

I used this for a sub plan in my Spanish III. We were on a unit discussing how to protect the environment and this reading fit in perfectly. I paired it with a video so that students could see a better visual of the hotel. It was a simple enough reading that they were able to do on their own without me being there which was great. I will be using this again.

My students loved this! I added the video "Música de la Basura" about musical instruments from garbage in Paraguay and a few other activities. It into a recycling unit in our study of el Medio Ambiente. ¡Muchas gracias! ¡Siempre me inspiras!
