Cuban Flag

Introduction:

Investigation: Internet activity:

At times we need to understand the story and the history behind a move in order to appreciate the situation and the emotions expressed in the film. This is especially true about films that take place in a country which has been isolated from our own country. Up until this past year 2016 Cuba has been isolated from the U.S. for about a half of CENTURY!!

Task:

You should research ALL of the following people,

Utiliza los siguientes enlaces e identifica los personajes, lugares, y eventos para ganar un mejor entendimiento sobre la historia y la cultura de Cuba. ¿Cómo ha influido este evento el desarrollo del país? ¿Cuál es su importancia hoy en la actualidad? Prepara una presentación para la clase en forma de un PowerPoint o Página Web con tus conclusiones.

(Use the following links to identify key information about the people of Cuba, places, and events to gain a better understanding of the history and the culture of Cuba. How has this person/place/event influenced the development of the country? What is its real significance today? Prepare a presentation for the class in Spanish in the form of a PowerPoint, Newsletter or Web Page with your findings.)

Process:

You should research the following people, places, and events about Cuba. Para las personas, no te olvides identificar lo siguiente también: ¿Cuando nacieron? ¿Por qué es/era importante? Para los lugares e eventos: ¿Cómo ha influido este lugar o evento el desarrollo del país? ¿Cuál es su importancia hoy en la actualidad? (Even though you need to research all of the following – YOU WILL ONLY CHOOSE ONE PERSON OR TOPIC TO PRESENT)
