Guia de Supervivencia
For this project we researched a Spanish speaking country, my group chose the Dominican Republic. For our research we looked into the food, shopping, transportation, accommodations, and dating of the country. Then we wrote different scenarios involving each one for our survival guide. We then chose one scenario, dating, to do for our skit. We had to add more lines to the scenario and then perform it for our exhibition.
I learned that the Dominican Republic has a lot going on it, but they are just like many other countries. They have big cities, buses, airplanes, and taxis. There malls have more in them though. I also learned that just in like a lot of places, the tourist shops and areas are a lot more expensive than the rest of the city or country.
This project really helped me with my pronunciations. I also helped me realize what it might be like to travel to a Spanish speaking country.

Journalism
In this project we wrote an article about pop culture, current events, or commercials about a certain Spanish speaking country. In my group I wrote about pop culture in Argentina and then we made a video.
I connected to this project by doing a topic that was relevant to me and my interests. I liked learning about pop culture in Argentina. My best moment during this project was finally finding a topic that I could write about.
The most challenging part of this project was finding a topic that I could write a lot about. It was also fairly challenging writing is Spanish.
I learned that I struggle with finding a topic to stick with during projects. I struggled with picking a topic to talk about with pop culture.
This project has taught me about the culture of Spanish speaking countries. I think that this is important because to fully understand a language you have to understand the culture that goes with it.

Día de los Muertos
In this project we chose someone we knew who had died to write about and to create an art piece representing them. We wrote about their lives and memories we had of them. For our art piece we created art that was in the Mexican style of Day of the Dead.
I did my project on my grandmother because she is one of the only people I have known who have died and I have a lot of great memories about her. I wanted to be able to celebrate her life since many of the recent memories I have are from her being sick. The difficult part of this project was writing in the past tense and writing about the memories I have. If I could do this project over I would have probably created my project by painting it instead of creating it in photoshop. I feel like I could have gotten more creative with it by painting or creating a little sculpture.
