In quarter one of Spanish class, we were assigned a virtual trip project. Each student was given $10,000 to travel and explore a spanish speaking country of their choice. We were instructed to explore and learn about cultural sites, traditional food, and common music found in our country.
WHY I CHOSE TO INCLUDE THIS ASSIGNMENT IN MY PORTFOLIO
I chose this work sample to include in my portfolio because I was truly fascinated by the beautiful scenery of Costa Rica. I enjoyed researching their culture and historical sites. This project was fun to create, and made me excited for Covid 19 to end so that I can visit Costa Rica myself.
THE 21ST CENTURY SKILL REPRESENTED IN THIS ASSIGNMENT
The 21st Century skill represented in this project is Global Awareness. Through my research, I became educated on the Costa Rican culture and environment. This project opened my eyes to a new way of life.
HOW THIS ASSIGNMENT DEMONSTRATES MY GROWTH
This project showed me the beauty of Costa Rica. Before researching and studying Costa Rica, I wasn’t aware of their kind and relaxed culture. I was also unaware of the beautiful national parks and floral environment found in Costa Rica. This project made me long to explore the amazing country.
AREAS OF IMPROVEMENT WITHIN THIS PROJECT
I would like to improve in my knowledge of the spanish language. As spanish class progresses, I would like to include more spanish words in my projects and be able to interpret them myself.
