Border Connections

Students read an informational passage about the Mexico-U.S. border, focusing on geography, trade, cultural exchange, and shared communities. The passage describes the role of the Rio Grande, transportation networks, bilingual cities, and blended traditions found along the border region. Students then answer six open-ended questions using complete sentences and evidence from the passage. The worksheet strengthens reading comprehension, human geography skills, and understanding of cross-border relationships. Students practice explaining how geography influences culture, trade, and daily life.
