About This Lesson
Most of the classical elements of a Cinderella story can be found in Domitila. A gentle weaving of her mother's nurturing with strong family traditions is the secret ingredient for Domitila to rise above hardship to eventually become the Governor's bride. Domitila: A Cinderella Tale from the Mexican Tradition from Shen's Books, an imprint of Lee & Low Books, includes a short passage for students to practice comprehension and summarization after reading Domitila or for teachers to introduce the book. Additional pages include vocabulary words and comprehension questions.
