This project will provide you with an opportunity to learn more about Latin America, its heritage, its environment, and about planning and organizing a trip outside the USA.
* You will work with at least one partner drawn at random, but no more than two.
* You need to research potential destinations for a two week eco-tourism experience in a Latin American country.
* Your final product will be a video taped oral presentation in Spanish using a prepared outline in which you will discuss (not read) your findings and your plans for your trip. The video tape will last a minimum of 10 minutes. Video taping will be done during class time, but in a separate location. See the taping schedule below.
