Students Promote Environmental Awareness in Spanish-speaking Countries (By Dr. Daniela Radpay)
In our current unit, Spanish 3 students learned about nature and the environment, and grammatical structures to express possible future events. For their final project, students worked in small groups to create a news segment about a prevalent environmental issue or natural phenomenon affecting the United States or a Spanish-speaking country.
Students presented on diverse topics of interest to them, such as shark finning, coral bleaching, deforestation in South America, oil spills in the Gulf of Mexico, and the effect of hurricanes on New Orleans. In their news segment, where students dressed and performed as newscasters, they described the environmental problem in detail, and then proposed solutions using the subjunctive and future tenses. Students also created a detailed handout that explained their topic and solutions to their classmates. This activity allowed students to employ the grammar and vocabulary from this unit to teach their class about important environmental issues.
