In the second six weeks of John I. Burton's school year, Mrs. Beauchamp's Spanish II class is learning about South American countries and their cultures. The students are putting together PowerPoint presentations about countries which have a Spanish culture. Each student was able to choose the country they wanted to learn about for their presentation. This is an annual project that Burton's Spanish II class completes.Some of the students in this class were initially resistant to this project because they wanted their studies to focus more on the Spanish language, as opposed to culture. Camryn L., a senior at John I. Burton, expressed a different opinion about this project. She thought that it was important to learn about a country and the country's culture. Camryn L., stated, "It is also a good way to learn more about language in a fun, different way."
This assignment helped the students learn about the cultures, food, music, sites, economy, and the history about each of these countries. The goal of this project was to inform the students about the daily life of South American countries.
