Reflection-
During the translation of the recipe i learned a lot of Spanish verbs that had to do with the food theme. While writing my recipe and ode i learned how to translate in Spanish and do it effectively. Columbia i found out has a very diverse climate and many vegetables are grown there. I learned a lot about cooking and the process of finding the right ingredients to make a authentic dish. It takes a lot of effort and precision to follow an exact recipe. I am proud of myself for being able to make such a complicated recipe and for being able to translate complicates sentences into working literature.
Arte y Lengua
This project involved creating a piece of art. This piece of art had to be related to at least one Mexican or Spanish artist. Our project had to have connected themes or inspirations that the artist had.
During this project i learned so much about Spanish artists. I also learned a lot about the techniques and inspirations artists had. During the project we had to do many revisions and during this process i learned a lot about how to use verbs in the past tense. I also learned that you have to be patient in order to make good corrections. This project was difficult for me because it was very hard for me to communicate how my artwork represented something that Salvador Dali would do. Spanish writing is very difficult especially when writing about historical content. Overall however this project was a great learning experience.

Salvador Dalí incorpora relojes, elefantes, y huevos en sus obras. Los temas de Salvador Dalí son muy reuducionnios.
Mi obra de arte es muy surrealista. Mi obra de arte tiene un collage para el fondo. El collage es hecho de pedacitos de fotos de revistas. Las fotos de revistas son paralelo al tema de del Dalí surrealismo. Salvador Dalí tiene tuvo muchos objetos un sus pinturas. Yo también tengo muchos objetos en mi pintura.

Project Takeaway
Born Not in The USA
The not born in the USA book is biggest project we have done in Spanish this year. Which tests our knowledge as well as our speaking skills in Spanish. This book was challenging yet fun to make. I feel as though this book was a great test of real like applications of learning Spanish. I always enjoy doing projects with several real world applications.
Mi Vida En Durango

Mi Vida En Chile

Listen to a recording of me reading my children' s story about life in Durango, Colorado.
Del Alma
The exhibition with Del Alma was fun and inspirational to get to read my book to a bunch of kids. I felt honored to have kids who speak Spanish listen to my book and understand what it means. This exhibition was extremely instrumental to the importance i got out of this project.
In Class Reflection
During this project many new Spanish speaking skills as well as vocab came up. One of these new speaking skills was the ability to say words that end "ciones". The entire first part of the year i would always try to say this words with that part as an ending and i could never do it. Now after practicing my book many times i am able to say words with this ending quite well. I have also gained some new vocabulary from doing my project. This includes the words i spent hours figuring out the proper usage because they weren't already taught to us. So overall i gained a lot of new Spanish speaking skills.
This project challenged me in several different ways and on of those ways was in my speaking skills. Before this year i had never done any real Spanish speaking and now that i am speaking to little kids it makes speaking Spanish correctly very important. One so you don't look like a fool in front of the Spanish speaking kids. Also you want to be able to say the words that you have spent much time finding and knowing how to use them in grammatically correct sentences the right way. I also found that making corrections on Spanish words without someone who knows what type of sentence craft the sentences should be in. It took me a really hard time to figure out whether something sounded right or not. Overall this project was very challenging but rewarding. Rewarding in the way that we got to exhibit our project to kids at Needham elementary. I would look foreword to doing another project like this again.
