Introduction
Your school has been given money to fund a trip throughout the Spanish-speaking world this summer and you and your classmates get to decide which five countries would be the most fun to visit! As a class you will get to plan the best trip ever!
Task
In order to decide which countries would be best to visit, you are responsible for researching one country and then sharing a project with the class about that country. Your task is to discover what foods are commonly eaten in your country, if it is safe to travel there, what the top attractions are, what animals live there, and what the weather is like in the summer.

Conclusion
Now that you have successfully created your project and shared it with the class, as well as viewed your classmates projects, which countries would you most like to visit? Please write a paragraph summarizing which 3 countries you would most like to visit and state a reason why for each.
