Quick Summary –  You will WORK ALONE to create a travel brochure of SIX (or more countries.) Use the countries from the Geography packet.

• FOUR countries: must be non-Spanish-speaking.

your assigned country.

same countries.

continents.  You will act as a travel agent – where you SELL the vacation package.  The end result is a dialogue between you and your client. The “client” will be your classmates who ask questions.

site.  This is two test grades, the (1) brochure & (2) oral presentation – all in Spanish.
