Spanish Around the World By Julia Williams

In early October, seventh grade Spanish classes had to search the globe for the 21 Spanish speaking    countries and their capitals. To help study for an upcoming quiz, these students were presented with a project. Each individual person had to create a large map and identify each and every Spanish speaking country. Then, they had to color in the countries that spoke Spanish in various    different colors, and non-Spanish speaking countries were colored brown. Seventh grade Spanish student Tyler Sgrott said, “This project was a lot more helpful than doing   worksheets.” The majority of students got good grades on their quizzes just because of this project. Most would agree with Tyler that creating these maps to be used as study guides was a fantastic idea!
