Great way to differentiate in an exploratory Spanish class. Kids were engaged and now I have an excuse to make tortilla española!

Awesome reading on “la tortilla española”! I created my own questions to go along with the reading since I teach middle school students.

These articles are a great way to introduce students to the variety of Hispanic foods and drinks. Part of the reason students like them is that they are short but give a wealth of information.

GREAT RESOURCE! I love the fact that it is set up for differentiation!
We used this during our Comida unit and the kids did so well that I made them “la tortilla española” the next day of class! Thanks for the motivation!
