Name of Assignment: Proyecto de Intercambio Cultural
Subject: Spanish 2
Facilitator/Teacher: Janette Cogliandro
Description of Work/Assignment: The assignment calls for a group of students to research one of the 21 spanish speaking countries and establish a program (example: photography) and explain costs, places, dates, and tourist attractions the country has to offer. The assignment also calls for the student to present in spanish and provide background information regarding the spanish speaking country.
Which 21st Century Skill do you feel this assignment addresses, and why?
This assignment addresses Global Awareness because learning about Honduras helps us become aware of the different culture outside of our country and our local community.
What are you most proud of from this assignment, and why?
What I’m proud of this assignment is our creative slides template (credit to Slidesgo), and the video we created instead of orally presenting to the class. Sure I could’ve done better in terms of making it visually appealing and explain why we chose photography, but I think we got the grade we deserved.
How did you develop and/or improve upon your 21st Century Skill with this assignment?
I strengthened Interpersonal Skills by reminding my partner about upcoming due dates. It not only made me a better leader, but it also made it less overwhelming since none of us were doing all of the work.
What was most difficult about completing this task?
What was difficult in this assignment was finding sources on travel dates and costs. I only used one source when I was working on this project and it was not easy. The editing process for the video was a huge headache since I didn’t know how to edit and my friend’s device wasn’t the best. However, we barely got the video done by the due date.
How could you improve this work? If you could start over, what would you do different?
If I could start over, I would use multiple credible sources by looking at the publish date, author, and similar resources in the works cited that are not considerably old. Next, I would’ve helped out over the weekend to make the video better (like a background or some music while presenting.) I honestly think it would’ve been better to present in class.
How does this relate to what you have learned in the past?
This assignment relates to what I’ve learned in the past by speaking and reading in Spanish. I remember reading some spanish books back in Spanish 1 and practicing conjugations, and this is especially true in this work sample.
How can you apply this to future learning?
I can learn how to edit a video and find reliable sources based on the challenges I had in this assignment. I think it would be helpful since I’m taking college courses in the future and the senior seminar requires a video so learning from my mistakes would help a bundle.
