In my project for the Spanish book, Pobre Ana, we researched several things about Mexico. We had to label certain cities and states that were important to the story on a map of Mexico and write down their population. We also made a slideshow (which you can view below the post) about ten places to go or things to see in Mexico. At least two of these places had to be in the state of Nayarit because a large portion of the book is centered around it.

This project connects to our curriculum in Spanish 1 by familiarizing us with the Mexican environment and culture. While labeling the map of Mexico, I learned that Mexico has states like the U.S., but their cities have a much higher population density. During my research for the slideshow, I found out that many of the fun tourist attractions in this country are on or near the coast. I knew that Mexico was home to beautiful scenery with lovely weather. I was surprised about the variety of interesting activities to explore in this country. Two of the most interesting places from my slideshow to me were the Scuba Diving in Playa del Carmen and the Cancún Jungle Tour. The scuba diving looks interesting because there is a variety of life underwater that you don’t see everyday, and I liked the jungle tour because there are many unique species in that area too.
