Using Google Earth for Los Países Hispanohablantes

There are many ways that Google Earth can help you with your project, such as climate, places of interest, and dangers. Choose two slide topics to incorporate Google Earth, and in your descriptions make specific comments on how Google Earth resources gave you information (see my examples below):

The Climate of Bolivia
As you can see in the picture above, the climate of Bolivia is different depending on the part of the country. Although it is 86° F in the eastern and northern parts of the country, it is cooler (45° F) in the western part. This is because of the mountains, shown more to the west, and the rainforest represented by trees in the east.

Bolivia's Religious Sites:

 
Cristo de Concordia as well as many famous cathedrals are indicators of Christianity's influence in Bolivia. According to the US Department of State, the official religion of Bolivia is Catholicism, though it has a constitution that gives Bolivian citizens freedom of religion.

Países Hispanohablantes Project Search Engine

Students,

Use the AMAZING search engine I made to help you with your projects. I have selected some very useful websites that the engine will search when you type in your country and topic. There is a mixture of Spanish language and English language sites, so if you don't find what you are looking for in English, try searching in Spanish (ex: "Sports in Bolivia" and "deportes en Bolivia").
