Qué Diría Che?
I made my project about Che Guevara, who was an Argentinian revolutionary who assisted Fidel and Raul Castro in the overthrow of Cuba. Our project was to create a poster or project of some sort where we would incorporate three commands in Spanish into a cartoon about Che via use of some sort of irony. Since Che was a communist, he hated the United States, and the point of the project was to apply these commands to an ironic situation in which Che was condoning certain aspects of American Capitalism or an associated ideal. I had some trouble with this, so some of my commands are literal. My original project was lost, so below I will post the picture that I used and put the commands underneath. I did a re-illustration of the below picture on a separate piece of paper, and I am not claiming this image as my own as I did get it off Google.
¡Trabaje por la liberacíon de Cuba!
¡Luche por tu familia!
¡Digame! ¿Dónde que los solidos?

La Casa en Mango Street
Here is my project on "La Casa en Mango Street." We read this story in Spanish about a house on Mango street, and we were tasked to not only read and Interpret the reading, but also create our own story in Spanish about the house we grew up in, hence the title "La Casa en Sunflower Lane." Below is my Story.
La Casa en Sunflower Lane
Vivimos en la casa de Sunflower Lane. Antes que mi casa era construido, encontraron huesos de americanos nativos cerca de mi casa. Decidieron construir la casa de todos modos. Era el comienzo de los problemas. Los sonidos empezaron. Las puertas chirriaban. Escucharon pisada en el vestíbulo. Pero nosotros ya vivimos allí a hoy.
Mi nombre ha venido de mi abuelo de mi padre. Se llama Kyle William Colley tambien. Él fue una piloto en los marineros. Mi nombre iba a ser Mergitroid, por mi padre, pero a mi mamá no le gusta. Mi gusta me nombre. Mi gusta me nombre mucho mejor que Mergatroid.

Wax Museum: Las Ramblas
The purpose of this project was to increase our ability to speak and write Spanish. We were tasked to pick a famous person of Spanish-speaking decent, become that person metaphorically, and talk about ourselves as that person at exhibition. Unfortunately for me, I was unaware that we also had to dress like that person at the exhibition, so with that in mind, my person was Penelope Cruz. I wrote up a power point presentation talking about her and her life, and proceeded to write a minute long "elevator speech" talking about myself and my life as Penelope Cruz.
Throughout this project, I learned how to rapidly think of answers for questions and become a better conjugate-er for the "yo" form. I feel like I am really becoming good at Spanish and I really enjoyed this project because it challenged not only my ability to memorize things and my memory, but my ability to rapidly respond to questions in Spanish and carry out a full conversation in Spanish also.

Porque Statement
I want to learn another language because I want to be able to talk to Spanish speaking people. I also want to help people by translating for them. I want to be able to be fluent so that I can get into a good college and that when I get a good job, I will be able to speak another language for people if they don’t speak English.
Un Dia En La Vida De Project
During this project, we were tasked to write a book in Spanish using our previous Spanish abilities as well as some new vocabulary skills. We were tasked to use reflexive verbs in this book.
