**Purpose of Webquest**
The purpose of this webquest is to expose beginning Spanish students to the region of Andalucia, Spain. This is done in the form of planning a trip.

**Learners**
This webquest is designed for students of Spanish 101 and is appropriate for grades 8 - 12.

**Standards**
//Kenosha Unified School District -- June 2001// Standard: 4. Demonstrates knowledge and understanding of traditions, ideas and perspectives, institutions, professions, literary and artistic expressions, and other components of target cultures Benchmarks: • Knows various age-appropriate cultural activities practiced in the target culture (e.g., games, songs, birthday celebrations, cultural traditions) • Knows simple patterns of behavior and interaction in various settings in the target culture (e.g., school, family, community) and how these patterns compare to those in one's native culture • Knows about typical daily life in the culture and how it compares to those in one's native culture • Knows some basic expressive forms of the target culture enjoyed or produced by the peer group in the culture studied (e.g., music, literature, artwork or graphics)

Higher Order Thinking Skills
Synthesis: Students __plan__ a five day trip to Andalucia, Spain by bringing together the parts generated by each team member.

Evaluation: Students __appraise__ the value of a city, site, hotel, restaurant, and mode of transportation and choose those that meet their needs. Students then __explain__ and __justify__ why these are good choices.

**Differentiation**
Some differentiation is already built into this lesson. Students are able to choose where they will go and what they will do. Students are also able to choose the group's method of presentation. Within the presentation itself, the group can differentiate who does what. The student who likes to write may do the written narration, where a more visual learner may choose to do the graphics.

This lesson originally calls for each member of the team to be responsible for a different aspect of the trip. It is possible to change this to put each member in charge of a different day of the trip. This would allow each member to organize a hotel, restaurant, transportation, and places to see based on their interests.

If students are not able to organize a group (usually due to a late start date in an online class), they may work independently and the trip may be decreased to three days instead of five.
