I designed this packet to help my level 5 AP Spanish Language students to organize current events and cultural information that we have covered through the course of the year so that they can better prepare for the AP exam. We cover one country every week and include any “breaking” current events as they occur. The students watch news segments and read articles as homework (They are responsible for finding these on their own). They bring their information to class, we discuss what is relevant and fill in the packet together.
At the end of the packet are pages for Hispanos en los Estados Unidos and Mi Ciudad. I included the Mi Ciudad pages so that the students will begin to make connections to their own city to better help them with the cultural comparison section of the exam.
The information to be filled in is self-explanatory. There is no answer key as the information is constantly changing.
