Introduction All about Spain - Todo sobre Espana

Lovely lesson to introduce students to Spain. I usually use this at the start of each term with my students. It's nice to watch them discover all bout the culture and the language by themselves. I encourage them to research all about festivals & food. I generally find it is a lesson that they talk about and use as a frame of reference later on in the year.

Once the lesson is finished they can go onto a display board. I've attached the .pdf for easy printing.
