Vacaciones


 * Español II: Unidad 8A - Las vacaciones **

En esta unidad, hemos leido un poco sobre los bosques lluviosos de Costa Rica. Vamos a explorar un poco más. 1. Primero, visita estos sitios para ver videos de los bosques y parques nacionales de Costa Rica. [] [] 2. Mantén una lista de los animales que ves mientras mirando los videos. Los animales que no reconoces, debes describir y buscar información para identificarlos. 3. Comparte **__//un//__** animal a la lista que sigue. ¡¡No repitas lo que ya está!! Si no puedes añadir un animal nuevo, tienes que escribir una descripción de uno de los animales que ya está en la lista. Mira el ejemplo: (Fijate - mi ejemplo NO es un ejemplo de un animal nativo al bosque lluvioso!)

It's time to go to Costa Rica!! You will work in groups to create an itinerary for a student attending **COSI: Costa Rica Language Institute**: [] in San José. This student will be attending classes weekday morning from 8-12pm for two weeks. You will create a list of possible activities to fill his or her afternoons and weekends. Work together to come up with a viable list. You may use the website provided above and any others that prove useful to you. You may want to include pictures or videos in your itinerary, but be sure to document where the pictures and videos come from. Be sure to create a pleasing visual and easy to read format for your itinerary. You may use the document tab within your group page to communicate and collaborate before completing the project. You will have classtime today to discuss this, and then all interaction will be done through the wiki and online.
