This resource works well for a group slideshow as well. Assign one student a biography per week and give an opportunity for cultural speaking presentation. Great for any level.

I am very thankful for Jade’s hard work. It would have taken me hours to find all the information I needed for HHM. In class, we are engaging in meaningful conversations in the TL with the use of this great resource. Moreover, I appreciate Jade’s openness to feedback.

I really liked this resource, but there are a few mistakes if you can please fix them. Cesar Chevez should be él era mexicano-americano”, the first slide: “las tradiciones” needs a space in between words. Salma: “en establecer una carrera…” Ellen: “primera mujer hispana en viajar”. Luis Walter: Premio Nobel de Física”. Lin Manuel: “el musical se llama…” Tito: Nació, just capitalized because it there is a period, also: saxofón. Roberto: “uno de los mejores beisbolistas…”, “primeros beisbolistas…” “Pirates”, Selena: “… aprendio´a cantar…” “… tejana en ganar…”. I really like this resource… just wondering if you can make those corrections. I have no time to go over all of it today, but thank you very much for your time and putting this together.
