Your adventure continues with a trip to Oaxaca, Mexico. While in Mexico, you will need to divide into four teams. Each team is responsible for researching each activity at the festival. Some ideas to research are dancing, music, costumes, ceremonies and types of foods. When this adventure has been completed you will need to create a brochure to advertise your findings.
