(I bet they will choose Mexico or Spain) but... We have Tango music!! <br />Also, I remember something I missed so much while being in the US, my students used to ask me how shopping malls and supermarkets or "groceries stores" looked like and forgot all the fliers and brochures here...at home! So many things to carry in your suitcase when you move for a long time. You know we, argentinians, speak Spanish, but with the same Spanish spoken all along Latin America...ours is kind of special!<br />Argentina Supermarkets websites:<br />http://www.coto.com.ar/<br />http://www.jumbo.com.ar/<br />http://www.carrefour.com.ar/<br /><br />Besides, I forgot to mention I was a Cultural Exchange Educator in the US and I belong to VIF Visiting International Faculty Program Alumni, based in Chapel Hill, NC: www.vifprogram.com<br />Saludos!Fabiana Casellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03963938089014952208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3300552189467608350.post-54563994607532614072013-03-30T00:17:42.604-04:002013-03-30T00:17:42.604-04:00Mrs. Witten: I think your idea is fantastic!.

Your students will have to work hard to get this project done!.I am fascinated with the idea of Flipped Classes and I´ve been doing some research about it. I know it is not easy to achieve because of some issues concerning internet connection, etc. <br />I ´m not sure if you know I am from Buenos Aires, Argentina but I lived and taught in Rowan Co., NC for six years divided in two periods. My first one I taught HS Spanish 1, 2 & Honors 3, and some ESOL, plus some help at the Guidance Dept. So I know Spanish III can be tough to teach and learn. I was thinking the about the local newspaper which is edited in English and it.s called Buenos Aires Herald: http://www.buenosairesherald.com/. I can highly recommend it to you, for it has been issued here for years. There is also another local newspaper called Clarin (http://www.clarin.com/) which recently added a English version covering Pope Francis life events, etc. http://www.clarin.com/pope-francis/<br /><br />Hope this helps!<br />Saludos desde Buenos Aires!<br />Fabiana Casellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03963938089014952208noreply@blogger.com
