I had issues with the PDF document opening. While it was rectified, the resource was not immediately available for use. However, the resource itself will be useful now that access issues have been resolved. My classes always enjoy the Pasaporte Cultural tasks.

This was a great little activity to supplement my lesson one day of our food unit. I did not love the font that was used, which made it difficult for my students and I to read at times.

This was a great resource for my students to learn a little bit more about food in a different country.

My high school students enjoy these pasaporte cultural activities, and especially love the images used for the food readings. The pictures with the ingredient section is very helpful to them.
I do wish that the font was more plain and not as script looking/with serifs due to it being difficult to read for some students and especially those with an IEP or 504.

Great reading! I also made a worksheet to go along with the reading so students could answer questions to help with comprehension.

Great source to use during food unit! Students love learning about different foods from the Spanish-speaking world. These articles are short but jam-packed with information.
