TitleProject: Spanish culture and civilization
Body
I just returned from taking a group of students to Madrid, Spain (with side trips
as a group to Toledo, Avila, and Segovia; others took trips to Granada,
Sevilla, Cordoba, and Barcelona) for a five week study abroad program and
thought I would share a project that the students did while there.

One of the classes, Spanish 130 (Civilization and Culture of Spain) was
required to do a project entitled "A Visual Representation of Spain from
Prehistoric Times to Present Day". The project entailed four groups of
students, each group creating an 11-episode TV Program, with each episode
focusing on a different time period. Each episode is a Power Point
presentation, with the first slide after the title being an introductory video clip
explaining the time period, following by 4-6 photos (taken by the students
themselves) with audio descriptions, and concluding with a short video clip
"signing off". A description of the project, as well as the projects themselves,
can be found at:

The links are to the Power Point presentations and if you open them, they will
open in your web browser (or should!). Then you will just need to use your
right arrow key to move through.
