For this project, we wrote children's stories and read them to bilingual children. Most of my class had an exhibition last Wednesday and Thursday, but I was out of town for that time, instead reading with Natalie to Luca, a teacher's son.
I really enjoyed this project! I like Spanish, and I write a lot of stories in my free time so this was a great project for me. By doing this, it allowed us to put to use the rules that we learned in class and helped stretch my word usage. I think that this was a very good way for us to put to use multiple skills and to really work with what we've learned, because before this project, when free writing I often left behind the rules that we'd just learned, which doesn't really work.
Honestly, I am more proud of the Durango side of this story, just because I had to start rushing with the photoshopping of my Valparaiso story. I was shocked by how time-consuming it would be to draw out and digitally edit each and every picture but even those turned out alright, I feel, considering. Overall, this was a very fun project!
So, as I mentioned above, I did not do the exhibition with the rest of my classmates. So, yesterday, my advisor Jessica brought her son in to read with a friend, Natalie, and me! It was really fun! However, about halfway through my story he decided that he wanted to sit on the floor, and I stayed sitting on my chair. This was fine but then I needed to angle the book more towards him and I tried reading it to him while reading it upside-down like I would with an English book. Reading Spanish like that was a lot harder than I'd thought it would be! It worked out though, and I really enjoyed the reading. Thanks!
