Students in AP Spanish recently learned about Argentina, Evita, Juan Peron, and the "Dirty War" during the years 1976-1983. During this time, more than 30,000 Argetnineans who opposed the government were "disappeared" by its brutal dictatorship. Students created a monument in memory of the disappeared, created an invitation to the "ceremony" for the unveiling, and gave speeches to recognize those who were never heard from again. ¡Muy bien hecho!
