Ms. Rowland's Spanish 1 classes presented their Spanish speaking country projects to small groups. The presenters taught their group about the places
they would visit, activities they would do, and cuisine they would eat in that Spanish Speaking Country. Students evaluated each other on their projects

Afterwards,
the students enjoyed authentic dishes from Spanish speaking countries!
