Capstone Project: Inmersión de la cultura y gastronomía-comida

A Capstone Project is an Inquiry-Based Student Interest, multi-step Project-Based Learning, or Real-World Solution Project. This course will have one Capstone project, with several checkpoints. The final product will be due at least two weeks before the end of the course and is a graded assignment. This is not an optional assignment.

Capstone Project: Reminder - What's the Goal?

You will create a PowerPoint presentation to promote interest in travel to an assigned Spanish-speaking country. The topics and themes students will write about promoting their country are included in each of the slide instructions.

The class goal is for students to be familiarized with all the Spanish-speaking countries of the world; your goal is to explore your assigned country to publicize it and educate your classmates who are possible client travelers to your country.

Note: Spanish IIA students - this is the final checkpoint for this term. You will need to save your work for the next term (IIB) as this project will carry over. Be sure that you save your PowerPoint presentation in a place where you can easily access it for your next term!
