Louis Rodriguez' Blog - Assignment 1 English 1A

Reading Louis Rodriguez' blog dated February 21, 2009 on his blog located at http://www.luisjrodriguez.com/blog/ is our major reading comprehension assignment.

During the first week of our Options Class at Los Angeles High School's Adult Education Program students were assigned Mr. Rodriguez' blog as part of a pre-test to find out the reading comprehension level of each student.

Next we are going to write letters to Mr. Rodriguez, to invite him to speak to the Options Program at Los Angeles High School, so that the students can prepare interview questions and then actually meet this leader of the youth social justice movement.
