This reading comprehension passage and accompanying activities pack focuses on Valencia’s famous spring festival. It provides an engaging article to explore authentic traditions through a reading passage and structured activities.

How it works in the classroom:
Bilingual Access: Students use the Spanish text and answer questions about it in English or Spanish. (with scaffolded support in the form of a vocabulary list and English translation of the text).
Independent Research: A guided web quest allows students to learn more about this festivity through text and video materials.
Creative Application: The creative task help students use dual-coding to retain new information and vocabulary.

Why teachers love this resource:
Flexible Use: Perfect for classroom practice, homework, or as a no prep cover lesson (even if your cover teacher doesn’t speak Spanish).
Accompanying creative tasks are designed to be completed on the provided worksheets, but are simple enough to relay to students so they can complete them directly into student jotters or blank pieces of paper.
Perfect as a festival reading to add to your “Customs and Festivals” unit.
