[] This site focuses on life on the border between Texas and Mexico. It discusses a broad range of topics including culture, economics, education, family life, government, and the environment. This can be useful for students who are comparing their life as an American with the lives of people in Mexico and looking for a marker in between the two.
 * The Borderlands Encyclopedia**

[] This site also gives a view of Mexico as a traveler. I feel like these sites are some of the most interesting because it will answer many of the questions the students have about the culture from the point of view of an outsider. It will also teach them any specialized terms or phrases they need to know to better understand the culture.

[|**http://kids.nationalgeographic.com/kids/places/find/mexico/**] The name of the site is called “National Geographic”.
