En este proyecto, escribí una poema en mi cultura. Escribí acerca de mi vida y mi persona. Escribí cuatro borradores. Refiné mi poema muchas veces. Corregí mi gramática y añadí vocabulario. En borrador 2 y 3, hice mi gramática mejor. En borrador 4, añadi más vocabulario. Grabé mi poema y hice una presentación de diapositivas. Las imágenes mostraban mi cultura. En el proyecto, practiqué español y hablé sobre mi cultura. Why is it important to understand a culture when learning its language?When learning a new language, it's important to also have knowledge of the culture behind that language. This allows for context when speaking. If I travel to a country that speaks Spanish, I have to be able to communicate with people there. I may be a master of Spanish, but that means nothing if I don't know the customs and life in that country. I could know how to order food in Spanish, but that's not very helpful if I don't even know what food is being served. In order to speak in Spanish, I also need to know what I'm talking about.
How has the examination of the themes and lyrics in “Latinoamérica” helped you to develop a deeper understanding of your own culture?Studying the themes and lyrics behind “Latinoamérica” allowed me to develop an understanding of my own culture. Primarily, I gained an understanding of what makes a culture. Previously, I regarded my culture as the people and things I do in my life. However, “Latinoamérica” made me realize that there is much more than that. The lyrics in the song depict the narrator's culture as the land and civilization he is a part of. He defines his culture as the groups and environment he is a part of. The planet is my culture. The mountains that make up the spine of the Earth are my culture. My culture is not simply the things that I do and the people I do them with. It is the land I tread, and the universe that makes my life possible. En este proyecto, aprendí sobre el período de romanticismo. Analicé dos obras artísticas de este período de tiempo, "Saturno devorando a su hijo" y "La canción del pirata". Compuse dos canciones para representar estas dos piezas artísticas. Una canción estaba oscuro y espeluznante, y el otro era rápido y rebelde. La parte más difícil de este proyecto fue cuando yo representaba el conflicto entre el gobierno y los ciudadanos utilizando la música. Es muy difícil mostrar eventos como la guerra a través de la música. Finalmente, tuve la idea de hacer de la guitarra y el piano representan diferentes partes del conflicto. Construí la música de una manera que la guitarra estaba compitiendo con el piano. La mejor parte de este proyecto es que elegí una forma artística que soy bueno en, y me gusta mucho. Componer la música era muy fácil para mí, porque es algo que viene naturalmente. He creado dos grandes piezas musicales que ilustran las emociones y las ideas de la época del romanticismo, y aprendí mucho sobre la cultura de la época.
Por el proyecto, Keegan me intro introdujo a Pablo. Pablo es un amigo de Keegan. Yo dije mi cuento de folclor a Pablo, y Pablo dio realimentación. Entonces, Pablo dijo un cuento. El cuento fue confuso, porque Pablo habló rápidamente y perezosamente. Yo reconocí la palabra lobo. El cuento estaba a punto el lobo y el muchacho. El nombre de muchacho fue Peter. Yo aprendí español es muy difícil.
In this project, I learned a lot about different folktales that are told in Spanish speaking countries. Eventually, I found a really interesting folktale from Ecuador about a man who was brutally attacked by evil men. This man then turned into a scary insect and haunted the evil men for their sins. I enjoyed this story a lot and wrote my own version of the story. My story took place in a much more modern time, where a greedy, rich civilization attacks a poorer one. After my story was finished, I conducted a shadow puppet presentation to exhibit the narrative I wrote.
I am very proud of the unique creativity I was able to bring out with this project. My story was very peculiar and special in its own way. I don't think there's a folktale in the world depicting a situation similar to the one I presented. Additionally, illustrating my story with a shadow puppet show was very unique, and it think the style portrayed the style of the story well. The largest challenge that presented itself during this project was the technological difficulties that occurred. I charged my camera to full battery and attempted to record my project, but I messed up the script and the shadow puppets a few times, and had to do it over. Eventually, I got a very good presentation, just to find out that the camera had died in the middle of it. After I charged the camera and recorded my presentation once more, the camera's USB cable would not connect to my computer, so I couldn't upload my files. Eventually, I had to borrow a new cable and was able to work quickly to upload and edit my video. |
