Spanish Culture Project

You will be required to present a Spanish Culture Project to the class. Working in teams of
three, you will give a 10-15 minute presentation. This project and its components are worth
100 points.
This will be an oral presentation, so a written paper is not required, except for a typed

bibliography (min. 5 sources).

The presentation will be evaluated on the following:
1. Content: The topic must be thoroughly researched and presented to the class.
Find information from a variety of sources; discuss all areas of importance.
2. Visual Aids: Each group must have three visuals. One of those visuals will be
either an informational poster or a computer slide show. The other visuals can be of
any variety. The other visuals must be something that took time to
create or develop (examples: authentic food, video footage (limited
to 3 minutes), teaching a dance, a pamphlet/brochure). You also
must discuss their relevance to your topic in great detail.
3. Participation: Each person must present approximately 1/3 of the material to the
class. You will also be graded on how you use class time.
4. Creativity: Keep the audience interested! Please dont just recite information!
Find a creative way to present. (Skit, newscast, commercial, etc.)
5. Speaking Skills: Be sure to use a lot of eye contact and an audible, enthusiastic
voice. DO NOT READ YOUR POSTER OR POWERPOINT!
6. Bibliography: Minimum 5 sources. Needs to be typed, doublespaced, and have word References at the top. When citing a website,
include the title of the document, the web address, and the date you
retrieved the document. Also, indent every line after the first line of a
citation. List your references in alphabetical order.

6. Review Questions: Each person is required to have 3 questions; typed on the
class Google doc. These questions should focus on information form your
presentation and will be used on quizzes.
