Video made by the students!

Lost in Mar del Plata : Video

As a result of the 2011 Exchange Program at Nortthern Hills , the students and Carolina Graff put together this fun video to share their skills in Spanish and the Argentina Culture!

This is the story of  Nick, an American tourist who gets lost in Mar del Plata trying to find a friend´s home the day before going back to his country.  He knocks at a door, where he finds a group of soccer fans watching a game and they invite him to join them. Then, he tries next door and he finds an old lady who offers him something to eat and introduces his two daughters to him, since she thinks it´s time for them to get a boyfriend. Finally, in the next house, he meets a young girl whose boyfriend has just left her. She shows him how to dance tango and they go together to a “Milonga” ( a Tango club). At the end of the day, his friend contacts him at last, upset because they couldn´t meet. Then Nick informs him that his plans have changed and he has decided to stay in Mar del Plata, because he´s getting married in a week.

Welcome to the program

Hello children and parents!  

                      My name is Carolina Graf and I´m the teacher who will be in charge 
of the group of American students during the school day.

 We will have Spanish clases to practice the language while we learn about tango,

 soccer, history and  other topics related to Argentina. You will also take part

 in a number of activities aimed at letting you experience the Argentine culture.

 Don´t forget your cameras because there will be visits to beautiful places in

 our city and get ready to enjoy some delicious traditional foods, since

 we are having a couple of cooking sessions. You will also attend some 
regular classes with Northern Hills students and take tango lessons.

                       This week I will post the schedule for the first days, 

and, once the program begins, parents and friends will be able to see 

in this blog pictures and descriptions of the most important activities. 

                       I would now like to ask students to please do a simple assigment:

*Quisiera que cada uno escriba en la sección 
   para comentarios un texto breve en español

   ( 200 a 300 palabras aproximadamente) presentándose 

   y contando qué expectativas

   tienen para el programa.

                     This is all for now. If you have questions or comments, 
 please write them in this blog and I will be glad to answer. 

                     Un saludo para todos, nos vemos pronto.

                                                                                                           Carolina.
