For my Spanish project, we first researched the populations and labeled of some of the major cities/ states in Mexico. We then researched ten places to visit in Mexico, two of which had to be in the state of Nayarit, and made a presentation of those places. This project gave us, the students, some background information that we could use while reading our book, Pobre Ana. Ana, the main character of the story, takes a school-sponsored trip to Mexico and gets to live with another family in Nayarit. Not only did this project help when it comes to the book, but it also helped grow my knowledge of the culture in Mexico. From this project I learned that the biggest city in Mexico is Mexico City, the capital, I learned that Guadalajara is the second largest city in Mexico, and so much more. Researching the different places to visit in Mexico also helped me realize that there are so many cool places to go and see. I was surprised to have found that there are so many nice, beautiful places in Mexico, because of the fact that all the news channels ever talk about is how impoverished the country is. This project has opened my eyes to how beautiful this country is. If I ever do go to Mexico in the future, I would love to visit the Whale Watching Sayulita, in Nayarit, and the Underwater Museum in Cancun. I love spending time in nature, especially the beach, and the idea of watching whales swim below me and scuba diving through the blue waters of Cancun sounds absolutely magical.
