Vamos a España Webquest

You are part of a family whose father has been transferred to Spain. He has been given a choice of several cities in which to relocate. Everyone in the family will be affected by the move. Therefore he has decided to research each city and together they will discuss their options. All members are bilingual so there will be no language barrier. The following cities are being considered: Avila, Barcelona, Córdoba, Granada, Madrid, Pamplona, Salamanca, Segovia, Sevilla, Toledo, and Valencia.

The Task

Each group will design a PowerPoint presentation that will showcase an assigned city. Each group will present this to the class. After all presentations are made, the class will decide to which city the family will relocate. Any "props" necessary to enhance your presentation are encouraged. ( example: music, artifacts, souvenirs or any other item that would represent the flavor of your city.)

Each group will consist of three people. Each member of the group will take on one of the roles of the following family members:

La Señora Sabelotodo - Mom is an art teacher who enjoys cultural activities and likes to shop.

Santiago /Susana Sabelotodo - He / She is a 16 year old who enjoys all sports, music and going out with friends.
