Writing Assignment- Similarities & Differences of the Education System

 Unit 2: Writing Assignment

For this Unit: La clase we have been learning about everything related to our schooling system such as the class objects and the classes you are currently taking. You will have to complete a numerous amount of assignments in order to complete the final Writing Assignment. I will randomly assign you a Spanish-speaking country. Once you have the Spanish speaking country you will start your research about that country and their schooling system. All of the information you gather should be from at least 2 reliable sources such as: .edu, .org, or .gov.  Once you have gathered some information you will create a Venn diagram stating the similarities and differences from your Spanish-speaking country and your country, U.S. After creating the Venn diagram you will move onto your next step, answering the essential questions: 1) How would you describe your class and school life? 2) What are the similarities and differences of your school setting to a different Spanish-speaking country? Each paragraph should be more than 5 sentences. Your paragraphs should include 5-10 vocabulary words. You will have a partner assigned to peer review your two paragraphs.
