Students create an Amazing Race challenge for another class. Students are put into production groups to create a show segment for The Amazing Race.Each group represents the different United States regions, investigates the various types of geographical regions, creates a digital poster or poster board presentation to be posted on classroom wiki for study reference, include an "artifact" (e.g. geographic tools/ technologies, stories, songs, and pictures) to further describe their specific region. As a class, students will present their final product and regional artifacts to another class as an Amazing Race challenge.

El Pais is a Spanish newspaper, which writes articles on everything from politics and world news to sports. It's great for pictures, too. It's great for reading, building vocab, and introducing more in depth cultural topics. I use it for my Spanish 3 class.

This website is a great resource for Spanish teachers of all grade levels. There are lesson plans, games, activities, and helpful insight on how to incorporate literature and culture into the World Language classroom. I have also found the resources targeted for new teachers very helpful. There are also resources and posts for veteran teachers. I appreciate that this site also provides teachers with motivation and encouragement.
