Project Reflection
In this project, what we did was choose a Spanish-speaking country, and got together in teams based on what other people had chosen for their country. From there, we did some research and read some articles about the current events happening in those countries. I was able to find an article about a man imprisoned in Cuba from the US. I rewrote the article in my own words in Spanish, and made an article out of it. Once everyone in our group was done writing our articles, we put them together, along with the weather, a Cuban recipe, and a horoscope. I was the editor, and put all the pieces together in an orderly fashion onto the article.
During the course of this project, I liked being able to get the experience of putting together an article, myself, about something that happened in Cuba. I was able to read up on current articles, and learn a little something, too.
The most challenging part of this project was trying to translate the project I had created from English to Spanish. I found that without the use of Google Translate, it was actually a lot harder putting together a Spanish article than I had expected, but luckily, with the use of WordReference, I was able to persevere through this, and make a beautiful article on my own.
I learned that I make a good editor. An editor is supposed to be the kind of person who is pretty critical about not only their own work, but the work of others. I also had to make something into something else that is much more beautiful. I guess the profile of an editor fits that of myself.
Through this project, I have explored different ways to word my article so that it makes sense, and with the help of several outside resources, I was able to expand my understanding of the Spanish language.
