Hi kids!!! Today we are having a different class. You are going to work on your own and next class we are going to comment and correct this activity. We are going to work with a story called “Alma and how she got her name” by Juana Martinez Neal.

First, I want you to look for information about the author: JUANA MARTINEZ NEAL and answer the following questions:

  • Where is the author from?
  • When was she born?
  • Apart from writing books, what else does she do?

Then, you will have to watch the following video: “Alma and how she got her name”.

  • What’s special about Alma’s name?
  • How does she feel about it?
  • What does her father explain Alma about the choice of her name?

3rd activity: Watch the interview with the author https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvuuoGzrR0s
