This engaging and interactive Cinco de Mayo Reading Comprehension & Creative Writing Activity is perfect for middle school students. It includes a detailed reading passage about the origins of Cinco de Mayo, comprehension questions (short answer or multiple choice), and a fun creative writing prompt that encourages students to use their imagination and creativity.
The activity begins with a reading passage that provides students with a comprehensive understanding of the history and significance of Cinco de Mayo. The passage includes interesting facts and historical context that will captivate students' attention and help them learn about this important holiday.
After reading the passage, students will answer 10 multiple-choice comprehension questions to test their understanding of the material. This will help them reinforce the information they have learned and improve their critical thinking skills. Two additional activities are included to boost creativity.
The highlight is the creative writing prompt, which challenges students to write a story from the perspective of a soldier fighting in the Battle of Puebla. This prompt encourages students to use their creativity and imagination to craft a story that will transport readers to another time and place.
