Quién me lo iba a decir…
Para celebrar que el número se acerca, os invito a ver la página Web que he creado para una de mis clases: Communities Around the District.
Se trata de una recopilación de todos los artículos que hicimos para localizar y describir las comunidades de inmigrantes y sus medios de comunicación en Washington, D.C. y alrededores.
Si estais en Facebook, también podéis pasar por aquí.
Espero que la disfrutéis!
