HW:  Create a "sure fire" way to study list with Spanish-speaking countries and capitals

Directions:  Divide your paper into 4 columns.  In the first column, write the names of the 21 Spanish-speaking countries.  In the second column, write the capital for each country.  Fold back the first column so that you are looking at the list of capitals only.  Now try to fill in the country for each capital.  If you do not know the answer, you can open up the paper to look at the first column.  BUT only look at it, remember it, fold back the column, and THEN write your answer.  After you have filled in the list of countries, fold back the 2nd column.  Fill in the capital for each country listed in your 3rd column.  ONLY consult the 2nd column if you cannot remember an answer.  Look at it, memorize it, then turn back the column and fill in your answer.  By the end of the activity, you should have filled in 4 columns.
