SourceCASLS Activity of the Week
Body
  1. Have learners map the places where the target language is spoken in their local community and come up with five ways they could interact with that community.
  2. Create an infographic in the target language around an issue they deem to be important. See Mapping the Nation's instructions for this type of activity here: http://mappingthenation.net/pdfs/resources/MTN_Educator_Resources_Activity_4.pdf
  3. Have learners write a letter to their local representatives using data that supports their argument about the importance of language education in their local community.
  4. Ask learners to search for an interactive map that is relevant to a region where the language they are learning is spoken. Compare the data points with those of of their local community to discuss ways in which demographic, economic, and educational indicators play a role in each of the communities.
  5. Have learners collect their own data for a community they are interested in, using the Interactive Map as a guide.
