As we begin our trimester, I'd like to share some of the questions we'll be looking at together in class. I've also included the objectives of our course over the next three months.

Essential Questions

• What do we need to know about Costa Rica?
• How will our actions effect the people we meet?
• How will these experiences influence us?

Course Objectives:

• To discover and experience Latin American culture, identity, history, ecology and politics through classroom activities and a 12 day service learning trip to Costa Rica.
• To interview and learn from experts on Latin American culture in both Pittsburgh and in Costa Rica.
• To work with your classmates, instructor, cooperating teachers, participating professionals, and local Ticos to complete meaningful projects, assignments, and discussions.
• To reflect on our experiences in meaningful ways (blogging, photos, and group discussions) both in Pittsburgh and Costa Rica.
