Nowadays, almost everybody knows about the “// Salsa //” dance, “// Tacos, Enchiladas // and // Tortillas //” or has heard about “5 de mayo”, but Where do all these concepts come from? This unit is about important aspects of the Spanish-Speaking Countries and their Culture. **  **Students will create presentations and posters.
