Geography Now! Argentina

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Argentina may be named after the Latin word for silver, but there is precious little of the metal there. A video profile describes its otherwise rich history—and mineral deposits— through glib commentary and helpful maps. Learners discover the geographical wealth of a nation with strong cultural ties to Europe, but with its own sense of nationality.
