If there is
not computer access or Internet access, the teacher could provide them with
the information that they could find on the web, or find book resources for
them to use. ·
If the
students have Microsoft Publisher available, they could create a brochure on
this program and find pictures on the internet to use. ·
The teacher
could make this day a fun day where the students could try Latin foods,
listen to Latin music and get to see Latin artifacts. ·
If the time
permits, the teacher can make this a elaborate presentation where the
students can become competitive on selling their country to the audience. The
teacher could encourage a more in depth presentation by allowing them to use
any sort of materials to use as a prop for the presentation. The students
could be as creative as they like and could even use music or video.
