  • 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

  • Locating and recording facts about Puerto Rico
