Designing my album was easy for me and writing descriptions was pretty easy.




The reflection for my project kept on getting deleted and my song for itunes will not save as a file on my blog. I also had trouble trying to mix up what I was saying in my photos because many of them were in the same summer and the same day.



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

I was asked the question and answered “Qué hice el verano pasado”
I researched what to say for pictures in the past.
I had people review my work and I practiced pronunciation with them.
I made my project a photo album so it was fun and creative and I made an itunes song as my recording.
I wonder how (if I get a chance to do it again) I would change my project and pictures.

What did you learn about Spanish through completing this project?

I learned how to speak in the preterit tense, I always wanted to know how to do that.

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

I changes the way i wrote my descriptions.

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

I would use different pictures and maybe do an imovie or comic life.

Did you enjoy this project? Why or why not?

Yes, because it was fun and creative, I love letting my creative side out.

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

No, I think this project was great the way it was. It is fun and enjoyable to do.

Espanol Summer

The project was to find and select 5 or more pictures from past summers. We were to find the pictures and describe them using our espanol vocabulary and past tense words.
How did you apply the SLA core values to your project. Then we had to create the pictures into a presentation and post it into sla blog aka slate.

I questioned about my family history. I Researched what i used to do in my past summers. I collaborated with my relatives to get the pictures. I am presenting my project on slate. I am reflecting on it with these reflection questions.


What did you learn about Spanish through completing this project?

I learned that fue means was and other past ensue words.

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


Nothing was changed.

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

I would have more than three people peer edit my work

Did you enjoy this project? Why or why not?

The project was new and fun. It wasn't something that I had expected. 


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

One suggestion is to be more flexible with the number of pictures. If a person only has like 2 or 4 then that should be worth more than just a C.

You might have noticed that Monday is listed first in the list. This is because in Español, lunes, or Monday, is the first day of the week. Another surprising fact you might have noticed is that the letters are not capitalized. In Español, you do not capitalize the days of the week. 

This is an example of Alexis asking her new friend, Emalyn, who happens to be a spanish speaker, what day she is free to hang out.

¡Los números! Phone numbers in Español.

In order to know how to get someone’s phone number - or give yours - you need to know the numbers first!

Screen Shot 2011-10-26 at 8.33.34 AM
Screen Shot 2011-10-26 at 8.33.34 AM
Now that you know the numbers, it’s time to lean the question. 

There are a few ways to ask for someone’s phone number.

One is: ¿Cuál es tu número de teléfono? 

This should be used amongst friends and peers. 

To ask someone with higher authority than yourself their phone number, you should change the “tu”, to “su”. So it is now “¿Cuál es su número de teléfono?”

If someone asks you your number, you should respond with “Mi número de teléfono es...” or “Es el...”

Here is an example of two partners working together on a project and and needing to be able to contact each other.



Monolouge

The single mother takes action.

{As she gets up form her front seat and steps up to the microphone}

I am Bon Qui Qui a loving single mother of four. I want to voice my opinion on the TransCanada XL Pipeline. {She says while picking up the paper with her speech written on it.

 I think this is very important factor that could change my children’s lives and me in both positive and negative ways. I would 1st like to thank my state representative for picking me as one of the people to speak at this meeting. She grips the microphone as if she was nervous and then says

 “ I Love my Children” but I also would love for them to have a better future. This is a plan that is proven to provide many more jobs, but the jobs aren't safe working around air-born chemicals eight hours or more a day. Also it is not safe because if the XL pipeline were to break, crack, or get a leak there may be chemicals that could endanger the workers. This is where loving my kid’s come into factor. Since the love I have for my kids is the thing I put first she says as she releases her tightened grip on the microphone and smiled. I love my kids and this what makes me both for and against the TransCanada XL pipeline the life of my children could be put into danger if the chemicals were to be spilled out or leaked into our water resources which can be dangerous for my children to drink. If this does happen to the faucet water the there would be no other way for me to provide water for my children since I am already unemployed and bottle water is to expensive to fit into my budget.

Put two things that are important to me in life hand and hand I’m not quite sure if I’m for it or against it because I want to best possible future for my children and I would love to get them the things the want when they want it, which consists of getting a good enough job. Also I would love to give my children as much safety as possible and the TransCanada XL Pipeline is not guaranteed to be safe. So with that said I think it should be held off until it is completely safe. She stoops toward the microphone and says “Thank You”. Then walks off while being applauded.

Making a good end of career reputation.

Hello, everyone and Welcome to the TransCanada XL Pipeline meeting. I am Ed Stelmach and you all know me as the Political Leader of Alberta Canada. Today I will be addressing my views on the XL pipeline.  He puts his paper on the podium.

I will be backing down from office on October 1st and my decision is to go with the XL Pipeline. I would support the TransCanada pipeline because Alberta Canada is such a beautiful and natural place and with the XL pipeline being a provider of natural oil that will make our economy better I think this was a very brilliant plan. He Picks up his paper and begins to read the viewpoints of his speech.

Alberta Canada will be very lucky if this plan goes through because it will bring many tourist, many allies and, many other countries to rely on our natural resources. This will provide Canada with help if we ever need it and a bundle of money coming from different things. This also will not take up as many resources as it will be producing. This wont be using as many resources because after the needed resources are used once they are reused. An example of this is the water that the XL pipeline uses, once it is used once it is used continuously for the rest of the process. He flips his page and begins to look over it as if decided not to say everything he had written.

I want the best for my citizens and I would like to lift the burdens of poverty, a failing economy, and higher taxes. I would like for them to have things like better education, easier living styles, and less of a stress form working tremendously hard every workday for their families. This is the opinion that I have and after being in office like I was it might make you have the same opinion because this seems to be the turning point for us. I know that my opinion counts because every opinion counts but mine will change minds, decisions, and life styles. Hopefully the next person in office see’s it the way I do. Thank you for attending and caring enough to listen. He grabs his papers, folds them and leaves the stage.

Losing a Father

                                                                                                Oct 16, 2015

{She sat at the kitchen table and wrote}

Dear Ed Stelmach and President Obama

            I am Shanayia Roland and I am a United States citizen. I don’t know much about the Canadian government but I know enough about the US government to address my opinion on the TransCanada pipeline leak. I am a 12-year-old girl living in Montana and my father was one of the 5500 people who took the job, but was also 1out of the 500 people died while working. I would like to address the leaks in the TransCanada XL Pipeline. She fiddles with the work jumpsuit that she holds in he hand, she smells it and then begins to speak as she writes:

 I guess this is what failure and lost lives smell like, that would be the smell of tar sands. The tar sands smell stuck in my fathers work jumpsuit as I hold it in my arms and mourn about my father’s death. I don’t blame you guys for the failures of the XL pipeline I just blame you for not making sure that this plan was safe before you guys did it for the better economy purposes. The economy was not worth 500 lives lost because of the leaks in the XL pipeline. Also 7 billion dollars was put into the pipeline that is now wasted because of the leaks. Now my mom and me are trying to save as best we can on water because faucet water isn’t safe. Tears from her eyes failing onto his jacket as she writes more:

We struggle with out my father he supplied our income, now my mother will have to find two jobs which will be even harder to find now because there will be a rescission even bigger there the one in 2011.

I thank you guys because you are both leaders but my fathers gone and I’ll never get him back. It’s as his life is as important to me as the economy is to you. As he sat stuck under slowly running out of air the economy slowly become the worse it ever was before. It was like two hearts failing at once. She hugs the jumpsuits tight as if it were her last hug to him, tears we’re pouring down her face she finished by writing:

 I don’t know if you’ll read this but my voice is little now but it will get bigger. In loving memory of Percy Roland.                                                                                                                                                 Sincerely,

                                                     Shanayia Roland 10/16/2015

​¿Cómo te llamas?: How to have a basic conversation

¿Come te llamas?: How to have a basic conversation

Basic conversation come in handy for many situations. Here is an example:

Meeting someone new

Anita: Hola!

Daniel: Hola!

Anita: ¿Como te llamas?

Daniel: Me llamo Daniel, y tu?

Anita: Soy Anita.

Daniel: ¿Como estas Anita?

Anita: Muy bien, gracias! Y tu?

Daniel: Eso agotado!

Anita: Mucho gusto!

Daniel: Igualmente!


One very common question used in this dialogue was:

¿Como te llamas?


¿Como te llamas? means what is your name. ¿Como te llamas? is the informal way to ask what is your name. The formal way to ask is: ¿Come se llama?


When asked this question, you must respond with one of the following with your name: 

Me llamo...(your name)

Yo soy...(your name)

Mi nombre es...(your name) 



Another question used in this dialogue was:

¿Como estas?

 ¿Como estas? means how are you. ¿Como estas? is the informal way to ask what is your name. The formal way to ask is: ¿Como esta usted?


When asked this question you can respond with some of the most common followings:

Muy bien...very good/doing well


Mas o menos...doing okay/fair


Muy mal...doing horrible/very bad


Or, you could use some of the more specific and elaborate emotions in the chart at the bottom.


Lets look at another dialogue:

Margartia: Hola!

Matteo: Hola!

Margartia:¿Como estas?

Matteo: muy bien, y tu?

Margartia: Muy bien!

Matteo: ¿Como te llamas?

Margartia: Soy Margarita, y tu?

Matteo: Mi nombre es matteo

Margartia: ¿Matteo, De donde eres tu?

Matteo: Soy de Brasil pero vivo en Cuba. Y tu?

Margartia: Soy de Argentina pero vivo en Cuba.

Matteo:¿Margarita, Cuantos anos tienes tu?

Margartia: Tengo 14 anos, y tu?

Matteo: Tengo 16 anos. 


In this dialogue, 2 new common questions were used: ¿De donde eres tu? & ¿Cuantos anos tienes tu?. 


¿De donde eres tu? means where are you from. ¿De donde eres tu? is the informal way to ask where are you from. The formal way to ask is: ¿De donde es usted?


When asked ¿De donde eres tu? you usually answer:

Soy de...where your from.


But if you want answer with more information you can say:

Soy de...where your from...pero vivo en...where you live. 


For example, I’m from Mississippi but I live in Philadelphia. So I would say:

Soy de Mississippi pero vivo en Filadelphia.


¿Cuantos anos tienes tu? means how old are you. ¿Cuantos anos tienes tu? is the informal way to ask how old are you. The formal way to ask is: ¿Cuantos anos tiene usted?


When asked ¿Cuantos anos tienes tu?, you answer:

Tengo...how old you are...anos. 


But to answer this question you must know your numbers. At the bottom is a chart to help you out!

                                                  

When ending a conversation, a polite way to end is by saying: Mucho Gusto.


Mucho gusto means nice to meet you. When you say this, your partner or the person you are talking to would say Igualmente. Igualmente means likewise or I feel the same way.

The Alphabet!

¿Como se escribe?: The Alphabet 


When learning spanish, you MUST know this...the alphabet. If you don’t know the alphabet...you don’t know spanish.

One key component to the alphabet is the B and the V. They both sound the same so don’t be fooled

Another key component is the N and the ˜ . They are NOT the same letter. The N is pronounced more like the english the N and the ˜ has a Y twist to it. En-yeh is how it is pronounced
