Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Please help me give my students a pretend passport that will be used when learning about the different cultures of Spanish-Speaking countries. My goals for this project are for students to be able to do a virtual trip after learning culture from different Spanish-Speaking countries, pretend to do a trip, and share their adventures in the target language with their peers. For some of my students, these virtual trips are the closest thing they will have for traveling. I want them to learn the target language, but also to learn the beauty of traveling.
