Spanish classes investigate Spain
Every year, Spanish IV classes research the numerous regions in Spain and present a project about the interesting cultures and facts about their region. In addition to presenting their project, each student is required to make a dish originating from the region that they researched. Sophomore Matthew Isakson said, “For my project I created a Spanish dish called Pisto Manchego from my region, Castilla La Mancha.”

Each year, Spanish IV classes work on an investigative project about different regions in Spain. The project includes a presentation and requires each student to prepare an authentic Spanish dish originating from his or her region.
Sophomore Jon Hilsabeck said, “The project is basically a power point presentation, and afterwards we are going to eat the dishes that we make.”
Some of the regions that are being researched are Castilla La Mancha, Valencia, Asturias, Aragon, and Extre Madura.
Hilsabeck said, “The region that I am researching is called Extre Madura. The dish I am going to create is Dulce de Leche.”
Students will present their dishes on Mon, Feb. 29, and projects will be presented on Wed, Mar. 2.
Hilsabeck said, “I am actually looking forward to this project. We had a similar one last year in Spanish III, and it was really fun to eat all the dishes created by students.”

During the movie, she undergoes friendship and bullying problems. But, by the end of the movie, she solves her problems and makes peace with the bullies. “Almost everyone has watched [“Mean Girls”] once, if not a couple times. It is just a go-to when you’re with your girls,” said Debasmita Kanungo, 11.](https://shsleaf.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/weissblogmeangirlsphoto-300x424.jpg)
