Mrs. Togneri’s Spanish classes have been learning about environmental problems in Spanish-speaking countries for the past week. After finishing a vocabulary unit that included words related to the environment, like oil spill (derrame de petróleo) and deforestation (deforestación), students were assigned partners and told to choose a Spanish-speaking country to research.

They had to then present a project to educate their fellow students on their country. Junior Conner Reynolds said, “This activity has helped me because I have learned of new solutions for the ecological problems of other countries.”
