You and your partner are making plans to visit a Hispanic country for two week on your next vacation. Research places and activities from that country that will allow you to experience the Hispanic culture and practice the language (going to museums, visiting landmarks, attending sport events, gathering with friends at a local place, etc.) and prepare a video presentation to share your plans with the whole class. · Pick a Hispanic country. Go to the following link to choose a country for your presentation. Write you and your partner names on the country you choose: YOU MUST USE YOUR EMICH ACCOUNT TO HAVE ACCESS TO THE DOCUMENT. · Do research on that country (What is it like? What local people do for fun? What sports do they play?) and CHOOSE TWO CITIES to visit. · In EACH CITY, find 2 places/activities you plan to visit or do to experience the culture and practice the language (museums, landmarks, attending sport events, gathering with friends at a local place, etc.) · Create a plan for a two-weeks vacation and work on the details: time of the year to visit, weather, budget, places to visit, activities to do, etc. · Prepare a presentation IN SPANISH using visual aids (Google slides, Prexi, etc.) to share your plans with the class and to convince your classmate to come with you. · The focus must be HIGHLIGHTING THE HISPANIC CULTURE, so just going to a restaurant where local food is served is not acceptable. Unless it is something special about that place. For example, a restaurant that prepares a very particular local dish or where locals like to gather for a special occasion or purpose.

What to have in mind · Read and follow carefully the instructions posted in Canvas 'assignments' · Take a look at the rubric in Canvas to be aware of how the assignment will be graded. · Focus on highlighting the Hispanic culture. · Make sure to start your video by giving a brief introduction of yourself and your partner and letting the viewers know what your video is about.

Make sure to look for the names of the places in Spanish. · EACH PERSON SHOULD SPEAK FOR AT LEAST 3 MIN. · The visual material should NOT be FULL OF TEXT. Bullet points with important information are OK, but AVOID HAVING COMPLETE SENTENCES. · Speak spontaneously. You should not be reading from a script.
