We will learn about the United States and Washington State by using our textbook, getting materials from travel agencies and the National Park Service, talking to Americans, using the library and the Internet. We will take some trips, including a trip to the wonderful and unique Olympic Peninsula. You will practice all language skills by reading about places, talking to Americans, and planning trips for yourself and making presentations for your classmates.
