Take Geography Lessons Across the Curriculum!

One of the best ways to improve students’ geographic skills is to incorporate cross-curricular activities focused on different countries around the world. Through engaging cross-curricular lessons, students gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of countries and cultures around the world while also improving their reading and writing skills.

This year, we challenge you to turn your students into world travelers through engaging Geography lessons that can blend into Reading and Writing classes. We’re excited to get you started with a brand new Reading Comprehension Activity Pack about Rio de Janeiro!

Read, Write, Color, and Make Brazilian Carnival Masks!

This printable resource includes a variety of printable activities to help your students learn about Rio de Janeiro, its geography, culture, and the celebration of Carnival each year. We’ve included activities focusing on reading comprehension, response to text, and art! This activity pack consists of the following Rio de Janeiro Comprehension and Craft Activities.

• Rio de Janeiro Reading Comprehension Passage (2 pages)
• Multiple Choice Comprehension Test (2 pages)
• Written Response Worksheet (2 Pages)

Teacher Tip! We recommend printing the printable mask template on thick cardstock and then having students decorate it. You can laminate it for durability if you like. Punch a hole in each side and tie a length of thread or elastic through the holes so students can wear it!
