 Parte 2: Hacer un Plan
Narrow down your brainstorm to 5 locations to include in your map. You will need extra information
for your interactive map, so use this graphic organizer to plan them out. Fill this out in Spanish!

You will now write the sentences to narrate the perfect week in your chosen city, at least 3 sentences
for each of your 5 locations. Use your planning from slide 8 and keep in mind which path you chose
on slide 5. Later you will copy and paste these into your Map.
