Activity
It is your turn to investigate the Spanish language and culture and create your own timeline.
Your timeline must contain at least ten events and a brief explanation in English about why each is relevant. Use at least one picture to illustrate each event on your timeline.
Here are three ideas, but feel free to use one of your own if you prefer:
- Nobel laureates in Literature. Authors who wrote in Spanish. Books and birthplace of the authors.
- Important Spanish literary works and authors in the last seven centuries. You will have to explain the name of the book, the author, and what literature movement they belong to.
- Relevant Spanish painters. You will have to research Spanish speaking painters and their paintings and the artistic movement they belong to.
Your presentation will be evaluated using this rubric.
