Wow! You now know so much about Mexico! Your friend Jordan, however, knows nothing about it. In a few months, his family is going on a tour of Spanish speaking-countries, including Spain and several Latin American countries. He has asked you to help him learn more about those places before his trip. His first trip is to Mexico.
Write Jordan a letter in English comparing Mexican culture and American culture in a minimum of ten descriptive sentences.
Note: The United States is a vast country filled with diverse and beautiful cultures and people, and so is MĂ©xico! One person's cultural experience in the United States can vary greatly to another. Write about your cultural experience. Your culture can be different than your best friend's culture or neighbor's culture. You may share a Mexican-American culture. Write about it.
Think in terms of food, sports, transportation, weather, population, celebrations, and demographics. How is your culture similar to Mexican culture? How is it different? Use details from what you have learned to help Jordan prepare for the trip, and have fun!
Before you write, take notes on these questions to help guide your writing. Be sure to include an introductory sentence and a sign-off in your letter.

Francisco de quevedo y villegas (1580-1645) fue uno de los polĂticos y escritores más famosos de españa. el siguiente es uno de sus poemas. mirĂ© los muros de la patria mĂa mirĂ© los muros de la patria mĂa, si un tiempo fuertes, ya desmoronados, de la carrera de la edad cansados, por quien caduca ya su valentĂa. salime al campo, vĂ que el sol bebĂa los arroyos del hielo desatados, y del monte quejosos los ganados, que con sombras hurtĂł su luz al dĂa entrĂ© en mi casa, vĂ que amancillada de anciana habitaciĂłn era despojos; mi báculo más corvo y menos fuerte. vencida de la edad sentĂ mi espada y no hallĂ© cosa en que poner los ojos que no fuese recuerdo de la muerte. tarea: Âżen tu opiniĂłn, de quĂ© se trata este poema? ÂżquĂ© frases del poema apoyan tu opiniĂłn? Âżcuál es tu opiniĂłn del poema?
