It sharpens their observation skills and help them become better at comparing and contrasting cultural values. In addition to this suggested lesson plan, I have posted the PowerPoint presentation on MERLOT.Appropriate for high school Spanish 1 and 2 classes. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=518607 This is an instructional design plan that seeks to engage students in learning both the placement of every country in the world and current world events. The plan is designed to be implemented throught a semester long class with the objective of having 100% of all students successfully place every country in the world in their proper location on a blank world map by the end of the semester. Along with this, 100% of the students will be able to take a “hot-bed” global issue and demonstrate relevance to their daily lives through a multi-media project and presentation.This design plan was created as part of an assignment in CEP-811 Adapting Innovative Technologies to Education for my masters program at Michigan State University. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=436046 This is an 11-page Spanish lesson packet on recycling in Peru and Ecuador.
