Averigüacion
Objective: Students will identify facts about trade relationships between the United States and Spanish-speaking countries.
Procedure:
Students will be divided into groups. Each group will choose a Spanish speaking country by lottery.
Students will be given a presentation date (also by lottery). The group that presents first will receive an extra 25%
Students will prepare a power point presentation answering the following questions. Spanish I students will present in English, Spanish II and above and native speakers will present in Spanish. Each person in the group will be assigned two or more of the questions depending on the number of group members.
Additional requirements
There is only one PowerPoint presentation per group. I do not want separate presentations for each group member.
The presentation may be given to me one of three ways:
Burned on a CD
Students pull presentation out of their email
Flash Drive
Presentations must include at least three sources. If the presentation does not have three sources I will not look at it and it will be marked late. No Wikipedia.
Late projects will be deducted 10 points a day. (this includes days you do not have class)
Plagiarism will result in a 0 for all those involved. Presentations made up entirely of quotes will be construed as plagiarism. The 0 will only be given to the student responsible for the section plagiarized. If students do not notify the instructor as to who is doing what section, all students in the group will receive the 0.
