The stated learning gap is lack of mastery in engaging in conversations and in providing and obtaining information. This unit, "Noticias, noticias de hoy," was chosen because it provided my students with the opportunity to investigate Spanish speaking countries and present the information orally. This unit addresses the Modern Foreign Language framework Goal One: Communicate in Languages other Languages than English. Standard 1.1 Students engage in conversations, provide and obtain infomraiton, express feelings and emotions, and exchange opinions. This unit was also chosen because it allows my students to use the Internet to research topics in class.
