DID YOU KNOW...?

The  image many people have of Puerto Rico is not a very positive one.  We are seen as lazy people being maintained by the the United States.  However, there is the flip side of the coin.  Here is a video to show you reality....no politics, just numbers.  What do you think?  (The video is in Spanish.)  

TASK:  Watch the video and then write your reaction to the video.  Did you know this information already?  Was there anything that stood out for you?  (Paragraph: 5-8 sentences).

 DATE DUE:  June 3, 2013

1.  What would you like to do this term in the English class? Mention at least 2 SPECIFIC things.
2.  What  would you like to see included in the blog? Mention 2.
