Imagine that Mahar is beginning an exchange program with 20 Spanish-speaking countries. 20 Mahar students will go; one to each country. Your class has been given the task of helping them decide which country to pick.
RESEARCH
You will be assigned a specific country and you will research what the nation offers in the following categories:
 | Geography: location, major geographical features and climate |
| Famous people |
| Popular sports |
| Typical foods |
| Places of interest to visit |
| Special holiday traditions |
| Currency |
| Languages spoken in addition to Spanish |
|
At least two things about the people and/or culture [besides language] that are unique and different from life here |
ILLUSTRATIONS
| A hand-drawn graphic that is closely associated with the country |
| A flag of the country |
|
A map that shows the location of the country within a continent |
POSTER
| This research will lead to the creation of a poster that is attractive and informative but is not filled with blocks of text. This poster must catch a viewer’s eye. It will be a visual representation of most of your research. Your poster should be an advertisement for your country. You want your country to be chosen as the first choice destination out of the all the Spanish-speaking countries. |
| The content of your poster, planning, attention to detail and effort are the components that will be used to determine your grade. Your grade will be improved by using a minimum of printouts from the Internet; you will not be graded on your artisitic skills, but more original art work means more effort. |
ORAL PRESENTATION
| Your presentation to the class will cover not only the contents of your poster but also additional information you learned when you researched your country. |
