For this project we had pick places and events someone coming to Philadelphia could visit and we gave descriptions and directions. We also gave directions on how to do a certain thing in Philly.   We decided to choose small places so that our places would not be so broad.

I learned more about how to give directions

I feel as though the final product could have been done more beautifully.

If I was to do the project over again I would put in more detail and information.

The Q3 Benchmark was to make a guide of the city like pick out a restaurant, a few places to go, and events that only happen in Philadelphia. We also had to show the person reading what we wrote how to do something in the city. My group taught people how to ride different forms of transportation while I taught the reader how to order a cheesesteak the Philadelphia way. My group and I decided to choose different places to visit, different events to focus on, and different foods traditional to our city. 

I learned a little bit more about Philadelphia, I learned how to describe some of my city in 

Spanish, I also learned that I know more than I think about Philadelphia. 

I feel like my final product is very good and has a lot of unique components to it. I feel like I provided good examples of things unique about Philadelphia and they were highlighted throughout mine and my group member parts of the project. 

Respond in English:

Describe the Q3BM: what was the assignment?  What did your group decide to do and why?

I learned a LOT about how to present a project on a blog

I feel ok about how the project turned out but I feel more could still be done.

If I were to do it over again I would film each part on location

The assignment was to make a guide to get around in Philadelphia.  We did a web site so that people could see it easier.  I learned that it was harder to explain the place you lived all your life to some one else that may not know it as well.  I think that the projects turned out all right.  The Spanish could be better but for the project it wasn’t that bad.  If I were to do this again I would try and explain the places better so that some one could better understand the place.

Describe the Q3BM: what was the assignment?  What did your group decide to do and why?

The Assignment was to make a website to help the experience of a spanish speaking person coming to Philadelphia. We had to include places, event, types of food, and ways that the culture is different in Philadelphia. 

What did you learn from doing this project?  

I learned about some Philadelphia event that I have never even heard of. I also learned where some things were in Philadelphia that I never saw before. 

How do you feel about your final product?

I think that overall the project worked out okay. The website turned out to look very cool. 

If you could do your project all over again, what would you do differently/the same?

If I could do this project all over again, I would plan out exactly what I wanted to say for each topic before I just started writing it all in spanish. 

La blog de yo...

Respond in English:

Describe the Q3BM: what was the assignment?  What did your group decide to do and why? 

• We had to pick a part that we learned from this section, watch a few videos and use them as examples. Then we had to apply what we knew to our favorite places with our table. My group decided that we would all do different things and then combine them all at the end of the project.

What did you learn from doing this project?  

• I learned how to give people directions and to apply that all onto a website.

How do you feel about your final product?

• I feel good. My group did all of their parts for the work and that made the whole project come together. There are a lot of parts with pictures. 

If you could do your project all over again, what would you do differently/the same? 

• I would make sure that we add more pictures and know how to work the google sites better.

Reflection:

Describe the Q3BM: what was the assignment?  What did your group decide to do and why?

     The Q3BM was to create a site about what places that you as a person like going to and want other people to go to. You were suppose to talk about what you like about the places and pictures of what the place looks like. We decide to make different pages that group the different things; Events, Restaurants, etc. Then, we each put our place on each page. We did this so it is organized and categorized.

What did you learn from doing this project? 

     I learned how to describe my favorite places in a way that would be appealing to other people. Also, how to write a 'how to' in spanish. I usually do them in English. Also, I learned how to use word reference, I didn't know about that website before.

How do you feel about your final product?

     I feel as though we need to do a little more work like add certain things, like the homepage. But after that, the website would be complete and acceptable. 

If you could do your project all over again, what would you do differently/the same?

     I would have started earlier and made sure everything was correct. Also, that everybody had their things together.

The assignment was to make a website for tourists to learn how to act, what to see, what to eat and just what to do when they come over. I learned a lot about how to describe what I want to say and how to turn something that is normal for me into a good description. I feel like it's ok but we definitely could have done a lot better. I would work a little harder on the website part of the project. 

For our 3rd quarter history benchmark, the students of Ms. Laufenberg's class all participated in the National History Day. The idea behind NHD is that each student researches a famous part of history, gathers both primary and secondary sources, then completes the project in however they see fit. The theme of this year's NHD was, "Revolution, Reaction, Reform." Therefore, each student had to take a part of history that had to deal with somewhat of a revolution, a reaction, and then the reform to see where it is now. And I took it from the perspective of one of the influential people in the United State's history; Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and how with his nobel leadership, discriminated minorities were able to overcome the struggle, and become equal to everyone else.
