My students come from different socioeconomic backgrounds and cultures, but they are all required to take two years of Spanish classes in order to graduate. My classes are very diverse: African American, Hispanic, Asian and Caucasian. Our school is located in an area of high poverty and some of my students face a lot of challenges when it comes to technology and research skills. The availability of computers and tablets is limited. Like all teenagers, my students have some difficulty making new friends and working in groups. Through these projects, they will have the opportunity to practice the Spanish language, team-building skills, interpersonal communication, and group work. These abilities will allow them to work in a multicultural society. By learning about the world around them, we "Let the world change [them] so [they] will be able to change the world"
