¿Adónde nos vamos de vacaciones? 1er Periodo by Patricia Vivo https://padlet.com/patricia_vivo/nh8z8qa2rz7i540i Each student should drop a pin on a Spanish-speaking country (there are 21!). Since we have more students in class than Spanish-speaking countries, some of you may choose to research a state in the United States or US territory where Spanish is widely spoken (California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Florida, New York, Puerto Rico). After you identify a country/state/territory that you want to learn about, pin it, and look online for travel information about your country and make a note to share with your classmates on the map. You can include links, pictures, videos, songs, or whatever catches your eye about the best places to visit and what to do during a trip in your country. Be creative, have fun, but keep it scholarly! Click on the pink circle with the plus sign to get started. Remember, one student per country/state/territory! After you finish your post, comment on two classmates' posts and state what you liked about their contributions. I'm so excited to see what you find and share! Please make sure to add your name to your post and comments! en-us 2022-12-07 13:22:14 UTC 2022-12-14 16:24:01 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f30e.png Florida https://padlet.com/patricia_vivo/nh8z8qa2rz7i540i/wish/2412229360 warren meekins IV]]> 2022-12-07 14:11:04 UTC https://padlet.com/patricia_vivo/nh8z8qa2rz7i540i/wish/2412229360 Arizona, USA raleighcpriest https://padlet.com/patricia_vivo/nh8z8qa2rz7i540i/wish/2412229825 Arizona, a southwestern U.S. state, is full of monuments, historic sites, recreation areas, and historic trails in 113,990 square miles.

These are three interesting facts about Ecuador:
1. Before the Incas created settlements in Ecuador, it was inhabited by its Native American peoples.

2. Ecuador was founded in 1532 by the Spanish, who drove out the Incans to claim it.

3. Ruled for 300 years from Peru and then by Spanish governors from Colombia, these Spaniards brought to Ecuador their religion, language and architecture. In 1822, this era ended with the achievement of independence. They first declared independence on August 10, 1809; they finally achieved it from Spain on May 24, 1822.
