Worksheet Description

This worksheet spotlights a specific quote from Cesar Chavez: “The fight is never about grapes or lettuce. It’s always about people.” Accompanied by an image of a rose, the worksheet places emphasis on the deeper meaning behind Chavez’s activism and struggles related to farm workers. Students are prompted to reflect upon the quote, interpret its significance, and express their agreement or disagreement, supporting their stance with reasons.

The worksheet aims to instill introspection and critical thinking in students. By presenting them with a quote that delves into the underlying motivations of social activism, students are encouraged to recognize that many movements, while ostensibly about tangible issues, are fundamentally about human rights and dignity. The exercise is designed to cultivate students’ analytical skills, challenging them to extract deeper insights from a single quotation and evaluate its relevance and truth. Furthermore, it promotes empathy and understanding by urging students to connect with the sentiments expressed and the broader context of human-centric advocacy.
