La sorpresa del lunes (Novice)
Like during trimesters 1 and 2, each student was assigned one week throughout trimester 3 to put together a sorpresa, or surprise, for the class. This surprise could be almost anything related to the Spanish-speaking world such as a song or meme in Spanish, a fun fact about a Spanish-speaking country, a short video, etc. Then, on the Monday of that week, they would present the surprise to the class, so that we could all learn a little something new about the Spanish-speaking world, or have a laugh at a funny meme!
