One of the best ways to help students build language proficiency is to give them a reason to use the language to learn, share, and communicate. A country project gives students that opportunity.
As students explore the Spanish-speaking world, they develop interpretive reading skills while learning about geography, traditions, food, landmarks, and daily life. Then, by sharing what they’ve learned with classmates, they continue building interpersonal and presentational communication skills in meaningful ways.
This type of project encourages students to see both the diversity and the connections across the 21 Spanish-speaking countries. Instead of viewing the Spanish-speaking world as one culture, students discover the unique traditions, landscapes, and histories that make each country special. This Spanish-Speaking Countries Project does just that. It includes:
Everything is designed to keep students communicating while learning about culture rather than simply completing a research report.
Whether you’re planning a culture unit, looking for engaging Spanish culture activities, or preparing Hispanic Heritage Month activities, this Spanish-speaking countries project will give your students meaningful opportunities to build proficiency while developing a deeper appreciation for the Spanish-speaking world.
