Each high school group will establish contact with at least one person of the Spanish speaking country they are researching. In the introductory letters they will request information which they are researching for the Virtual Treasure Hunt. Hypercard stacks are shared online with the audiences for which they were intended, i.e. stacks for adults will be shared with adults, those designed for second graders will be sent to second graders. In small groups, students decide on the essential questions which they should address in order to carry out the objectives. In the class planning portfolio, the class secretary notes all questions.
Groups share their questions with class.
All questions are included in the Class Portfolio. Individually students brainstorm the meaning of culture. Students write a two-page essay about what culture is and share with group. Each shares the item and its significance to the class. Create a square for the Culture Quilt.
