Let's take a look of our culture


WELCOME EVERYONE!

This blog was created by Eduardo Zapata Monsalve for the English course of ninth grade of "The New School".
In this space we're gonna learn several things that we may not know about our own culture, such as regions, traditions, food, myths, legends, important aspects of our spanish and more.
This is a great opportunity to share each other and interact with the entire class.
Feel free to visit this space for your process.
