Gaining a greater appreciation of another culture and recognizing the important of global language skills is an important goal for the study of a foreign language. This rather open-ended lesson plan guides students to Web sites offering virtual libraries, news, sports, and cultural information in French or Spanish. Encourage students to keep a weekly journal of sites visited, or select a common theme with reflective questions to guide online exploration. Aligned to standards.
