Two (2) essays will be assigned in this course. The first one will be due at the end of Lección 1 and the last one with Lección 4. Each essay will relate to the concepts we will be studying and the country or countries introduced in the course.
The essays will be at least one page long, double-spaced with regular margins, with a 12-point font, in English. The essays are 5% of your grade.
Quality of title is important. For example, for an essay on Spain, if your title is “Spain”, it is not very original.
Choose a topic that interests you about the country in the lesson we are covering, e.g. politics, history, geography, or tourism, etc., but only one, as an example, in the essay on Spain, you could talk about “El Flamenco”, a traditional dance and music from Spain.
These are the subjects or countries that we will cover in this course: Hispanic immigrants to the US and/or Canada (Lección 1), Spain (Lección 2), Ecuador (Lección 3), Mexico (Lección 4) and Puerto Rico (Lección 5). Do not to use Wikipedia and do not talk about many different subjects. Develop your idea in at least three, well-developed, academically sound paragraphs. In the first paragraph, you could answer: Why did you choose this topic? ¿Por qué escogiste este tema?
