This document outlines a project where high school Spanish students will research and promote different Spanish-speaking countries as ideal locations to learn Spanish. Students will work in groups to research topics like tourism, geography, culture, and economy for their chosen country. They will then create and present multimedia presentations to pitch their country to an audience, who will vote on the best location.
