Midterm Video Reflection
For this video I am most proud of how I was able to show emotion while trying to pronounce my lines correctly. My partner was really helpful when writing the script and took my idea and ran with it, making our script even better. In my community I could use some verbs that were in the script, I could use some experience I gained from pronouncing things to help sound out bigger words, I learned some good ways to express myself emotional while speaking specifically in an argument. also I learned a lot of names of animals and some helpful ways to describe and talk about food. If I could give myself a grade I would give myself an A- or a B+. my reasoning behind that would have to be that we worked very hard and wrote a good script, and had some good props. However I feel that the way the actual video was executed in sort of a sloppy way. I was prepared but was forgetting my lines due to pressure and kept dropping food as I was putting it on the tray. And although we cant really control it, the middle school art class was sanding and using power tools a few feet from our filming location which must have made the audio sort of bad. Overall I think we did a good job but as always we learned something and there is room for improvement.
Kahoot
Me and my table group created a kahoot game about Spanish literature
Interviews on sprinter
For a project we were required to interview random people on the sprinter. My partner and I Interviewed three diffrent people, but unfortunately none of them would allow us to record them. So here is some transcribed notes from the day.
Joseph:
He is on his way to oceanside, and he is moving on the sprinter. One of his sons is in collage, and his daughter is dead. We asked him how long it would take him to get where he needs to go and he said It would take his entire life.
Robert:
Robert is on his way to the coaster station so that he can go home to San Diego. On his way,he is going to head over to Oceans 11 casino to bet on some horses. In his opinion movement is the transition of the body in motion. Robert lives in the plymouth development center and is trying to get a job so he can get back on his feet.
Jason:
Jason is on his way home from Buying some clothes in oceanside. He enjoys listening to music and riding the sprinter. Although he says he has never had any emotional movement, He says he experiences movement all the time while exercising.

Quiz Reflection
I feel that I did okay on this quiz. I could answer most of the questions but had a few issues with the conjugation because It was more of a memory question. I felt pretty good about the first part because it was relatively basic knowledge that I understood from repetition. I feel that I could grow by memorizing more conjugation techniques so that I can do better next time. I did not spend a lot of time outside of class studying conjiguations specifically because I thought that over time I would learn them. Other than that I speak small amounts of Spanish with my dad almost every day. I will defiantly start practicing conjiguations more outside of class and work towards understanding Spanish better.
Spanish Video 3 Reflection
My partner and I did not practice outside of class but made up for it by utilizing our class time as much as we could. I feel my partner really pushed me to try my best because we wrote a moderately difficult script and each had a good amount of lines that had to be memorized and practiced frequently. I would be more than happy to collaborate with my partner again because I feel we created a great video.
Our practice plan was to read over the script every night and practice together in class whenever we could. We defiantly stuck to this plan, However I feel like I could have used a little bit more practice just to make things perfect.

Travel Brochure
For this project My group had to make a travel Brochure. We choose to make ours to vieques island in puerto rico.
Spanish Video 2 Reflection
This video required different preparation from the first because it was longer and had more complex words and sentences. My partner was very good and supportive and was a crucial part of making this conversation work. I was a little disappointed in myself for not practicing as much as I should have. Although I felt I was ready when it came time to speak I was very nervous and forgot some parts of my lines. My partner had to do some of the most difficult lines of the whole conversation at the very beginning and did a very good job speaking them.
Spanish Video 1 Reflection
One thing I think I am good at is working hard to deliver a good product or presentation. I believe that being presistant and making corrections really helps the process of creating something.
The most difficult part of speaking and developing in Spanish for me would have to be that there is no direct translation from Spanish to English, so I have to sound out and punctuate each sentence so that it is correct. This can make it really difficult for me to understand but with practice this could be a lot easier.
Practicing Spanish outside of school can help add a real world element to my Spanish speaking. although we are in a conversational style class, the conversational Spanish spoken outside the classroom can help give a greater understanding to the language as a whole.
I would like to thank My partner garret for helping me create this conversation. I do not have much previous experience working with garret but he proved to me that he is an excellent worker and genuine good classmate.
