Mi Verano Pasado Maggie Hohenstein

Posted by Margaret Hohenstein in SP2-005 on
​- For my quarter 1 spanish benchmark we had to present what we have done in past summers. I made an imovie with 11 different pictures and descriptions of what I have done. Instead of having people read my descriptions I recored myself saying them.

-I used Inquiry by explaining what I did over the summer therefore answering the question “Que hice el verano?” I used research but finding our information from my parents about what we’ve done in past summers and looking through old photo albums to find pictures that I could use. I used collaboration but helping others with their project and getting help on mine. I used presentation by putting everything onto an imovie so that it can be easily shown to other people. I also used reflection by filling out this last part of the project.

-I learned that writing out full sentences with limited vocabulary is really hard and it’s really important to remember everything you can.

-I had a break through when I found pictures of my trips to my uncle's house in Chinquotegue. It gave me a lot to say and made it possible to have so many pictures.

-I would use more pictures for each description so that it was more of a collage and it is more interesting to look at.

-I did not because it was the same thing again and again. You just kept going through the same process for a lot of pictures.

Reflection

·       Explain this project in your own words.  (the mission, etc.)

The mission of this project was to talk about what we did over the summer  using past tense.

·       How did you apply the SLA core values to your project?

I think I applied the SLA core values by asking my friends for help, helping them with their project, and asking my teacher for help.

·       What did you learn through completing this project?

I learned how to say what I did last summer. I learned how to tell the reader/ viewer what I did.

·       Think back to your process in completing this project.  Did you have any major break-throughs or a moment where everything started clicking?  Or maybe instead everything fell apart?

At first I thought it was going to be cake. I started lacking but then I realize that it wasn’t as easy as I thought.

·       If you had the opportunity to start your project all over again, how would you do it differently?

I would do a collage which is what I was going to originally do but I ran out of time.

·       Did you enjoy this project? Why or why not?

I did at first but then after a while it started to annoy me because I started overthinking about it. By the end I liked it again.

Mi verano vacaciones

Posted by Victoria Odom in SP2-005 on
The mission of this project was to tell the viewer about a vacation we went on. 

I asked myself what pictures, I wanted to use and how I wanted to present my project.

I did learn a better understanding of some of the words I was unfamiliar with.

At first I dint know how to do the project but I as I reviewed through it again, it started to click in my head what I had to do.

If I could do this project all over again I'd use a different vacation than the one from last year.

I didn't enjoy this project because I had a very hard time pronouncing the words.

Strengths of your process or product

Weaknesses of your process or product

 My process consisted of trying to get pictures from my friends who I spent time with over the summer. I recorded using powerpoint and made it easy to see where to click for sound.






 I turned in the pictures late and got my project edited late.

How did you apply the SLA core values to your project?
I collaborated with my friends in order to get pictures. I researched vacations I had in the past. I answered what I did last summer. I posted it up on the blog for others to see. 


What did you learn about Spanish through completing this project?
 I learned how to speak in the past tense so that I can say what I did the day before. 


What did you change about your final project based on peer feedback?  What did you change based on Srta. G’s feedback?
  I didn't have to fix much aside from some words in the slides.


If you had the opportunity to start your project all over again, how would you do it differently?
 I would ask my friend for the pictures before trying to help my dad find the camera charger. I also would have gotten people to edit it sooner.


Did you enjoy this project? Why or why not?
  yes because I got to try a new form of spanish speaking aside from just "how are you?" 



Do you have any suggestions for me if I do this same project next year?

No

Explain this project in your own words.

This project is like a summary of what you did over the summers. it didn't just have to be last summer but any summer and you had to present it. it could be an album, keynote, collage, ect.

How did you apply the SLA core values to your project?

The way I applied the core values are that for inquiry I was asking what pictures I wanted to use and how I wanted them to be presented.Then for research I started going around looking for the pictures. After that I started putting the project together And then I collaborated with my peers to see if there was anything I needed change.


What did you learn about Spanish through completing this project?

I learned that some new words and how to use them.

Did you have any major break-throughs or a moment where everything started clicking? Or maybe instead everything fell apart?

When the teacher first mentioned the project I knew automatically what I wanted to do which was a keynote but things didn't go the way I planned so I did an IMovie instead.

What did you change about your final project based on peer feedback?  What did you change based on Srta. G’s feedback?

I changed my grammar and the way the project was going to look. I was going to do a keynote but then decided to do it on imovie.


If you had the opportunity to start your project all over again, how would you do it differently?

If I could do this project over I changed my pictures and choose more of them.


Did you enjoy this project? Why or why not?

I did enjoy this project because I love talking about my summers and how much fun I had.



Do you have any suggestions for me if I do this same project next year?

I have no suggestions.

How did you apply the SLA core values to your project?

Throughout this project I did use the five SLA core values. Inquiry is the act of asking for information. Throughout this project I went to my peers and asked for certain words. Researching is the act of investigation. I investigated old photos from the past. Collaboration is the act of working with someone to create something. While peer editing, I did collaborate with my peers. I am presenting my project through imovie. It is neatly edited and done.  I have and continue to reflect on the work that I have done.


What did you learn about Spanish through completing this project?

I learned how to use the pretérito tense. I also learned new words just as “meido” and phrases such as “we left”.


What did you change about your final project based on peer feedback?  What did you change based on Srta. G’s feedback?

I made a lot of agreement and grammatical errors. Those were the main things that I had to change. As for sentence structure, it remained mainly the same.

If you had the opportunity to start your project all over again, how would you do it differently?

I would have used more pictures. I don’t have many pictures. However, I would have spent more time figuring out how to work with pictures.


Did you enjoy this project? Why or why not?

I enjoyed this project because it allowed me to look back on past summers and think of all the things that I have actually done. Also, this project allowed me to use imovie. Editing this project was fun.

Do you have any suggestions for me if I do this same project next year?

I do not have any suggestions for you if you do the same project next school year.

Strengths of your process or product

Weaknesses of your process or product

I felt that I learned that all of the past tense verbs and used them well during this project. Also I enjoyed having every detail in my presentation and involving my family in this project. In all, this project was very fun to do even though it was hard going back and forth with the dictionary.






I feel like this project was rushed a little and I wish I had more peer edits because all of my peers said it was okay but after the teacher edits, there were some things that needed to be changed.



How did you apply the SLA core values to your project?
Inquiry: I questions how I would organize and get started on my work.
Research: I researched a lot of terms in my project from the dictionary.
Collaboration: I had a lot of peer edits and teacher edits done.
Presentation: I used Keynote to present my work.
Reflection: I am looking back and writing what i can do differently and what I think my strongest and weakest points in this project were.

What did you learn about Spanish through completing this project?
 Learned more about past tense verbs and that you don't have to conjugate the verb if it is after "gusta".


What did you change about your final project based on peer feedback?  What did you change based on Srta. G’s feedback?
Peer: Nothing because I didn't get a lot of feed back.
Srta. G: I would make sure that i did all of her edits correctly.


If you had the opportunity to start your project all over again, how would you do it differently?
I would spend more time on the wording and see what I can do to make my project nicer.


Did you enjoy this project? Why or why not?
I enjoyed this project because I got to include my family and because past tense verbs are easy for me.


Do you have any suggestions for me if I do this same project next year?
Review more the the past tense verbs and stress the use of a dictionary.

Espaa Extra Credit

Posted by Ryan Shaw in SP2-005 on
​I learned a lot from changing my Facebook language to spanish. I still knew where everything was, but since I did, I learned the spanish words!
is typing...- está escribiendo...
Update Status- Actualizar Estado
Like- Me Gusta
What's on your mind?- ¿Qué estás pendsando?
Messages- Mensajes


I also learned that a good way to get used to other languages is to live your life with them.

Extra Credit - Facebook

Posted by Ellen To in SP2-005 on

Fin de Semana Extra Credit Opportunity!

Change your Facebook language to Spanish for at least 24 hours. What did you learn? Post to your blog on SLATE. Include screenshots and/or video.

DUE MONDAY BY 8:15am

​Start: 09/24/2011 - 6:18 pm
I learned a words like:
  • muro - wall
  • publicó - published / posted
    buscar - search
    me gusta - like
    comentar - comment
    inicio - settings
  • comentó - commented
    etc.
Also, the words on your notification bar are mostly past tense so they end with the past tense verb conjugation. The statuses are in English rather than Spanish. Also, most of the links and places to go on the left hand bar were easier to read or I memorized them from before the language change.

Example: My cousin tried to add me as one of her cousins and I tried to see the resemblance of the Spanish word Vs. the English word to get the the page and then there was a list of family members and I picked prima because she was my cousin.


Later: 

I get a lot of notifications through my phone and all of them were in Spanish and every time I got a text, I was shocked to see that it was in Spanish.
