Journal Project
For this project we did individual and group work. For the individual work we started with writing a newspaper article, and then got into the group work. The writing was hard for me at first but once I got into the flow of it and asked students for helped I was good. For the group portion I chose to make a news video with Josh and Marley. The video was hard to make, but in the end we ended up with a great product.
In this project I was able to connect more with the Spanish culture and language by looking at current events and writing in Spanish. What I liked the most was finding current news in Mexico because it was cool to see what else goes on in the world. The best part of the project, was the final day of filming because I was relived it was over and could pronounce the words well.
The project was difficult especially because of the video. I had trouble with the video because of the pronunciation of the words, mostly the first few days of filming. After I went home and practiced I was able to pronounce the words much better therefore making the video much better. Overall there weren't too many bad experiences and it was still fun.
I also learned that I am able to work by myself better than with other people. It was hard to work because the work is hard to split evenly and everybody gets the same grade no matter what. I learned that I am able to collaborate fairly well and get my point across.
By learning about current events in Spanish speaking countries I have learned more about the culture. The culture will help me get the big picture of the language and how it works. Then when I learn the language I will be better off because I will know the culture.
