Un viaje inolvidable

An Unforgettable Trip

Students will go on a virtual trip to a Spanish-speaking country of their choice. They will create a multimedia presentation integrating the most important and interesting cultural and geographical facts of their country. Students will present their products to the class in a synchronous session.
