Introduction to Esperanza Rising ( A Pre-Reading Research Project )

Introduction to Esperanza Rising (Pre-Reading Research Project): Are you teaching a literature unit using Esperanza Rising this year? Since this is a historical fiction novel, it is a good idea to give students some background information before they read Esperanza Rising.

This is an interactive WebQuest that takes students on a journey to learn more about the setting and events that take place in this book. Depending on your group, this research project is expected to take anywhere from 2 - 4 days.
