I did a project over different places in Mexico and learned different things about Mexico. I researched the populations of Mexico City, Jalisco, Guadalajara, Nayarit, Tepic, and compared them to Texas and Austin. We did this to compare their states with our states and their capitals with our capitals. I also labeled those places on a map of Mexico. After that, we researched ten places to go to. Two of the ten places were from the state of Nayarit because that is where the character in our book goes to. The purpose of the project was to get familiar with the places and culture of Mexico and how it compares to the United States. I learned that Mexico is a lot smaller than the United States. I learned the names of different states and cities as well as their capitals. After doing research for the slideshow, I learned that not all of Mexico is poor and bad looking. There are many nice beaches and cities that would be cool to go to. I already knew that there were some beaches in Mexico. All the different places to visit and go really surprised me because I did not think there was a lot of things to do in Mexico. Mexico City and Cancun, Quintana Roo were two really nice places that stood out to me. I chose those because those two were cities that I had heard of before the project began.
