October Reflection

Throughout the month of October my class participated in my favorite project of the month called the Spanish tour. The Spanish tour allowed us to choose three different Spanish speaking countries we wanted to plan trips to. Along with choosing the countries we researched each and found flights, hotels, and interesting facts about the countries. We also researched the history, famous people, official religion, restaurants, and souveniers. Included in the project we created a budget on a spreadsheet. Although the tour was meant for us to become more familiar with Google docs, spreadsheets , and the internet. The essential learning skill taught by the Spanish speaking tour was research fluency and information fluency. The Spanish speaking taught this because we had to find, evaluate, and use digital information.
During the Spanish speaking tour I learned more about Caracas, Venezuela, Buenos Aires, Argentina, and Cancun, Mexico. I enjoyed learning about these different countries and I would like to visit them someday. What I thought was the most interesting were the names for buildings and other cites in Spanish. In the end I was happy with my work because it was organized and contained a huge amount of information.
