10. Class Description for Elective
The students are working in groups and need to decide which Spanish speaking country they will visit. The project will include arranging train fare or airfare, lodging, some meals, budgeting your time and money, and sightseeing. Each group will learn about the process of planning a trip, while learning helpful vocabulary for buying tickets, ordering food, asking for directions, and making conversation with new acquaintances.
At the end of the trimester, each group will present to the class their trip, using Power Point, to show where they would stay and what they would do.
