Overview

The goal of this toolbox is to provide teachers of secondary World Language students the resources they need in order to have students search and research countries related to the culture and language they are studying and learning. It is my hope that with the resources available here on this Wiki, students will be able to search for information about a country in order to complete a class project, such as planning a family vacation. In order to do this, students will need to search for information about a particular country, cities and geographical features within the country to plan which locations to visit, the population and ethnic/religious make-up of the country, holidays and celebrations to plan for or around, modes of travel and transportation, calendars of events, and shopping and dining ﻿choices while traveling. This site will also be useful for teachers, who will have access to a bank of research on the bulletin board that others have left in order to collaborate with their peers. They may also enjoy the discussion forum available on this site. =====
