What’s more Incan than an opera? Well… terrace farming, for one, but it’s not nearly as fun! The seventh grade Spanish students have concluded their study of Peru by writing and performing their own opera songs. They were inspired by their love of the operatic group Il Volo, whose famous rendition of “El Mundo” never fails to bring a tear to the eye. After studying Inca religion, farming practices, technology, and writing, the students concluded our cultural unit with several songs dedicated to the empire. No opera is complete without costumes and dramatic scenes, and the seventh graders did not disappoint. All in all, it was a fun and engaging way to end our study of Peru!
