Research Time!

What do El Cid, Antonio Banderas, Gaudi, Penelope Cruz and Ikers Casillas have in common? They were born in Spain and they have made (or are making) significant contributions to the culture of our world! Middle School students embarked this week on an exploration of famous Spaniards. After doing research in the library and citing their sources they will create a display of what a "Facebook" page might look like for their person. Who would be believable "friends" and what would they say if they post if they were on the net today yet still living in their time period?  Who says research and reports have to be dry and dull??!
