Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Research and record key facts about Cuba (population, currency, national dish, flag, neighboring countries) in a structured fact-sheet format.
Present researched country facts orally to the class.
Teaching tips
Assign the Spanish-language fact sheet version to more advanced Spanish students and the English version to beginners, since both cover identical content in the same layout.
Use the Ropa Vieja recipe as a take-home extra-credit option or a class cooking demonstration to extend the Cuba unit beyond the fact sheet.
Skills covered
Country research and note-taking -- students watch a video and fill in structured facts about Cuba (population, currency, national dish, flag) on the sheet (pages 1-3).
Oral presentation -- students present their completed fact sheet findings to the class (page 1).
Spanish-language vocabulary -- the Spanish version of the sheet uses target vocabulary (la bandera, la moneda, la comida nacional, la población) in context (page 2).
Good to know
Questions teachers ask about this resource
