Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Research and record key facts about Puerto Rico, including its flag, capital, population, and currency

  • Complete the same fact-finding task in both English and Spanish

  • Present researched findings about Puerto Rico to classmates

Teaching tips

  • Assign the linked video as a starting point before students begin filling in the fact sheet, since the activity is built around research rather than prior knowledge

  • Use the Spanish and English versions together to reinforce vocabulary for the same category headings (population/población, currency/moneda, capital/capital) across both languages

  • Save the coquí seek-and-color page for after the fact sheet is complete, as a lower-pressure culture-focused wrap-up to the research task

Skills covered

  • Research skills — students locate and record specific facts about a country using an outside video source.

  • Bilingual vocabulary reinforcement — students complete the same category headings in both English and Spanish.

  • Oral presentation — students share their completed fact sheet findings with the class.
