El viaje a México (I2)

This trimester the students of Intermedio 2 read the book Problemas en paraíso. This short novel tells the story of Victoria and her son, Tyler, who visit the coastal city of Ixtapa in México. Unfortunately, there, Victoria is the victim of a kidnapping and Tyler, with the help of friends and agents, tries to find her.

Alongside this book, students learned vocabulary related to the topic of traveling, while reviewing the preterite and the imperfect tenses, the reflexive verbs, and the different uses of ser and estar.

For their term-long project students chose and researched a city in México. Then, they wrote six “traveling entries“ and drew six postcards, inspired by their research findings and their traveling entries. Finally, they presented “their city” to their classmates. in their presentations each student incorporated a touristic attraction that can be enjoyed by us all now, when traveling to new places is not feasible.
