This evening, I am am giving an 8 minute presentation to my Spanish class. The professor will be evaluating my spoken Spanish grammar and pronunciation in addition to the written Spanish in the visual portions of my presentation and the summary I will give to each student. I hope it goes well. It has been great to review and improve my Spanish skills.

I have also enjoyed researching the topic of my presentation, an obscure portion of the fascinating history of Chile. For any of you who read Spanish, I am posting a summary of my research. I’m sure that there are grammatical and orthographic problems that I have missed, but deadlines wait for no one!
