Franco: La Corta Vida de las Trece Rosas

This worksheet explores the story of “Las Trece Rosas,” 13 young women executed during Franco’s regime for their involvement with the Juventudes Socialistas Unificadas (JSU).

The worksheet includes a vocabulary definition activity, varied exam-style questions, and four critical thinking prompts for individual or group discussion. It comes with a detailed mark scheme for evaluation.
