*The purpose of this project was to TEACH NOAH SPANISH!
*For this project, we wanted Noah to be able to: 

(1)...say where and when he's been to places. 
(2) be both informative and entertaining in speech.

These were are goals as well, but we also wanted to be able to:

(3) create a video that clearly explains the past preterite tense in a clear way.


*We decided these goals because we believe that they include all of SLA's core values, and that they are the key fundamentals to the unit.
*And for our questions to Noah? 


Why did you choose to move to Spain without knowing Spanish? 
Did you enjoy our video? 
Which video have you seen that was the most informative?

      This project was to help our friend Noah learn how to speak Spanish. So we came up with a story of our friend going to Spain and how we are teaching him Spanish, that way Noah is able to look at our video and learn for himself.

After watching the video we created, Noah should be able to...

• hold basic convocations with people about himself and how he is doing
• order food and say thank you
  
• say what he did in the past summer. 

First, we found it very important to be able to talk to people even if it's only very basic. People are going to be the ones helping you with things you need so you should be able to talk to them. Also everyone eats and when you're hungry, there is nothing worse then not being able to get food because you can't say what you want. Also the goal of the project was to teach Noah how to talk about last summer, which is an important thing to him.

In the group we did a really good job on being serious and filming the scenes and making them look good. We really worked well together in that part and was albeit o get it done kind of fast. If we had more time, we wouldn't of waited until the day before/of to film and maybe given ourselves a more spaced out time line.

The question we have for Noah is, did this movie help you?  Do you feel it helped improve your level of Spanish? Why or why not?

The purpose of this project was to teach Noah different Spanish phrases that would be valuable to know while living in Spain. The goals for this tutorial should teach you how to use verbs in the past and present tense, and how to order something from a restaurant. Another goal for the video was to make it understandable and easy to follow. So that when communicating with someone who speaks Spanish he would be able to break down and understand what they are saying.  We reached our goals by explaining the basic phrases and writing them out so that Noah could have both visual and audio to remember the phrases. Also we performed different scenes and explained what each person said so that he could get a clear understanding of what to say when put on those situations. For example when at a restaurant and he has to order food. In our final product our group is most proud of the amount of information we used in each or explanations on how to say a phrase in Spanish. If we had the chance to do this project over again we would probably just film our scenes in different places.   Some questions that we would have for Noah are if he learned anything from our tutorial and if he is enjoying life in Spain.

WATCH ON DROPBOX !
Our video is about a boy named Steven. He is moving from Philadelphia to Spain because of his dad's new job. In this video you will learn how to conjugate verbs in the yo form. You will learn to conjugate each form in regular and irregular form. We hope you learn something from the video but also enjoy it!

The purpose of the project is to teach Steven spanish. After watching the video Steven should be able to conjugate verbs in the yo and tú form, and to tell us what he did over the summer. The way we arrived to the goals were using flashcards. This is important to us in the video because these are the cards that taught steven how to speak Spanish. Our final product when we look at it is very good. On the other hand if we were to be given the chance to do something over we would probably add onto our script and rerecord some of the clips. in our group we are proud that we have been cooperating very well and getting everything done on time. Questions we have for Steven are, Did our flashcards help you with learning the Spanish? Was writing your paragraph about Spanish easy or hard? and How do you like España so far?
