This WebQuest guides Spanish students through a research project on various aspects of Spanish culture. Students are divided into groups and each assigned a topic to research - sights, food, traditions/events, or phrases/words. They research their topic and answer questions. Then they share findings with their group to teach each other. Finally, they create a PowerPoint presentation in Spanish to demonstrate their cultural knowledge to their teacher. The goal is for students to learn about Spanish culture while developing their language skills through an authentic research experience.
