El Periodismo Reflection
In spanish 2 we were to write a news paper page on a place that we were assigned to. We were to work with two other people and create a finished product each contributing to the project. The purpose of this project was to educate us on our assigned place we may not know much about and give us a perspective of the culture in these places that we were not otherwise educated on.
In doing this project I found out new and interesting things about a new place. Looking into Costa Rica I was able to learn about some of the foods they eat there and the kind of weather they have. I connected to the interesting culture and customs of Costa Rica. The people and foods caught my attention and interested me. My favorite aspect of this project was the ability to take the view of someone from Costa Rica and present the daily normalcies of this foreign place and sharing the information with people like myself who have a very limited knowledge of Costa Rica. My best moment during this project was when I looked into the customs of local Costa Rican people. I found that christmas customs in the food department are very different from the U.S in Costa Rica. In Costa Rica they eat tamales and pork legs with eggnog on the side. Looking into their culture I realized that Costa Rica has many different customs and traditions from what I am used to.
This project wasn’t difficult but in one aspect the information was moderately hard to find for instances the weather information took me awhile to find. I didnt have any moments where I had to persevere through something however I didn’t have many challenges with this project.
In doing this project I realized that I a more interested in other places then I realized. I also found out I don’t do good with putting things off. I learned that i do good a group setting working together with others and sharing ideas. At the beginning of the project I was on top of things and I got most of my work done as the deadline drew nearer I began to get crunched for time and wasn’t able to turn in my part of the project letting my classmates down and myself down. These problems came about because of my health over the past week I have been really sick but have been pushing myself hard so I don’t miss any school. I haven’t missed any school but its hard for me to buckle down and get stuff done because its hard for me to focus. Realizing my mistakes will help me in my future projects and lead me on the road to success.
Also by doing this project I realized I have a strong desire to learn spanish so I can travel to spanish country and be able to interact with the locals and gain even more knowledge. My goal is to get to this point and be able to achieve these goals and maybe one day help others through the bridge of language. The knowledge I have learned through this project have opened up new experiences with the spanish language and have helped me with my spanish writing.
