Work Sample #4
Name of Assignment: Spanish Decor Project (Proyecto de Decoración Cultural)
Subject: Spanish
Facilitator/Teacher: Profe Ají (Ms. Cogliandro)
Description of Work/Assignment:
We were put into groups and told to research an assigned spanish-speaking country (ours was Honduras) and create an educational poster and slideshow on it for our class.
Which 21st Century Skill do you feel this assignment addresses, and why?
This assignment addresses our Global Awareness Skills because we had to learn about the current political and social climate of a foreign country as well as its staple foods, entertainment, and other details.
What are you most proud of from this assignment, and why?
I am most proud of our teamwork and dedication in making the whole project come together by working in our off periods and coordinating outside of class.
How did you develop and/or improve upon your 21st Century Skill with this assignment?
I developed on my Global Awareness Skill by increasing my awareness of foreign cultures from around the world that I was not familiar with before.
What was most difficult about completing this task?
The most difficult part was putting the poster together last minute. We didn't have access to printers a lot of the time so we got our pictures very late, luckily we made it in time.
How could you improve this work? If you could start over, what would you do differently?
If I were to start over I would try to manage our time more wisely. I would have dedicated more time to research earlier on so that I could start work on the poster earlier.
How does this relate to what you have learned in the past?
This relates to my skills with slide organization and presentation, those skills helped me when I was working on this project.
How can you apply this to future learning?
I can apply this to future learning by using my knowledge on Honduras and Spanish words relevant to it to do well in my future Spanish classes.
