Authentic resources and embedded readings

I created an embedded reading to use with Neruda's "Oda al tomate."  I am very excited to see how it turns out.  I began by isolating the words my students are familiar with already, creating the intermediate reading.  Then, I pared it down to an even simpler version tat should be quite accessible.  I went back to the middle version and added some details back in so the final version is not such a stretch.  Now, to get a day of school so we can begin reading!
