Countries Round Two!

Again, students will pick two countries to research. They should find and post information about geography, location, government, currency (money), natural resources, school, family, tourist attractions, history, and food. They are not limited to this information, nor are they required to include every single topic. These are only suggestions.

Aidan- Uruguay, Colombia

Abbey- Paraguay, Spain

Brandi- Panama, Nicaragua

Dani- Puerto Rico, El Salvador

Marina- Guatemala, Cuba

Alfabeto Posts

Make a "Libro del Alfabeto" on your blog. For each letter of the Spanish alphabet find a word and picture that corresponds with that word. There will be no translations- the picture will be the translation. You will probably want to use the small image option. :)

For example:

A- avión
