Top tips:

Search databases in Spanish (look for "Languages" or "Preferences" in most library databases)
Be flexible with your search terms (cuisine vs. food vs. dishes)
Search the internet for help with search terms, events, important people, etc.
Remember not all sources live in library databases (sometimes government websites, professional organizations, blogs, research center websites, social media, and more might be useful to you)
- - Look for local newspapers by searching your country name and newspapers (i.e. Paraguay newspapers)
  - Look for universities that may be doing research on your topic
  - Find Government websites (i.e. Paraguay government website)
  - Look for organizations (i.e. Paraguay teachers organizations)
Crowdsource ideas from classmates, friends, family, etc.
Reach out early if you get stuck! Librarians and your instructor are here to help.
