Born NOT in the USA/ Nacido NO en los EEUU: Mis cuentos infantiles

To exercise our understanding of Spanish vocabulary and build on our usage of Spanish, we wrote children's books (cuentos infantiles) in Spanish, describing a day in our lives in Durango, and a day in our lives if we lived in another country.  These we will read to children at Needham and Park Elementary next Wednesday and Tuesday as an exhibition.

This is the first page of my Durango story!

   Un Día En Durango: a day in Durango.  This follows my daily routine right here at home!.  Each of the pictures I took with my camera and then photoshopped, making them more colorful and look like they were painted.

The first page of my Chile story!

   Un Día en Valparaíso, Chile: these pages were trickier to create due to the fact that I didn't want to make a really long bibliography following my story.  So I drew up pictures for each page and then photoshopped them and added filters to give them textures.  It has taken a long time but I'd like to send them to Shutterfly and have a picture book sent back to me.  With any luck I'll finish that tonight and be ready to send them in!

   After our reading, I'll post a recording of me reading the story, and a reflection of the exhibition with Del Alma and of the project overall.  Until then,

¡Adiós!
