They learned about Mexico, Columbia, Panama, Brazil, Argentina, Peru, as well as art and holidays. Students used books, videos, articles, and digital resources to make sure that they could experience the information in different ways.

Shakespeare especially enjoyed learning about Frida Kahlo. Her art is very graphic and expressive! Also, the differences in how holidays are celebrated in different parts of the world is also interesting.
