Claveras Mini Project:
In this mini project, we chose a person of our choosing to create an art piece and write two paragraphs about them. Both paragraphs could have been creative and original. One paragraph was about this person(who, what, when, where). The second paragraph was about how they died. This was for Dia de Los Muertos, however instead on creating an altar to honor someone we made up how one died. They could have been as creative, funny, serious as we wanted. We wrote both of our paragraphs in Spanish using the skills we've learned up to this point. Reflexive verbs, conjugated verbs, etc. I wrote about my good friend, Annabelle Mick. I made up where she lived, what were personality was, and how she died.

"Annabelle Mick vive en la casa en Toronto. Ella tiene un alce, y un gato. Ella vive sola en una pequeña casa. El nombre del alce es Sam. Su gato se llama Gary. Annabelle es baja, y gordita. Ella está enamorada con Dave. Ella acosa Dave todos los días. Ella quiere estar con Dave. Ella piensa que nadie debe estar con Dave. Ella piensa que Dave es muy muy muy guapo, aunque él es gordito.
Un dia Annabelle estaba acosando a Dave. Dave estaba conduciendo. Ella estaba esperando en las arbustos. Ella no puede ver Dave. Ella camina en la calle. Repentinamente el carro pega a Annabelle. Annabelle está muerta y el conductor de carro es Dave."

I had a lot of fun with this mini project. I got to creatively write in Spanish which in my opinion helps me the most learning and adapting new skills that I have learned.
El Proyecto de "Mi Frida"
This project was all about biographies. We read a Spanish biography of Frida Kahlo, a famous Spanish artist. Reading this also grew our minds in past tense Spanish. Also to learn about Frida we watch the movie "Frida" to get a better understanding of her life. The final product of this would be a biography of our own writing as well as a Friday style painting of the person.
My person was Stephen King and I researched about his early life, all the way up until now. I researched conflicts that we encountered during his life, as well as huge achievements. It was a lot of fun and interesting researching my favorite author, where he was born, and how he became so famous. I learned a lot of things that I never knew about Stephen King before and got to write about elements I already knew. This project also really grew my understandings of past tense Spanish and conjugating. Below is my Biography as well as the painting and the painting I based mine off of.

Mandatos y Comida Proyecto
In this project, we learned about commands, and actions in Spanish. To do this we used a restaurant for an example and practiced using some commands in the form of a customer. We also learned a-lot of kitchen items such as food, and tools in Spanish. The final product for this project would be a recipe for a Spanish dish as well as a cooking show, both would have to be in Spanish.
I did my recipe on my own. I looked up how to cook tacos and used my knowledge as best I could. If there was a word or phrase that I was struggling with, I used Word Reference.com. Below is my recipe.

For my Spanish cooking show, I worked with Annabelle and Colin. Together we main two dishes. These dishes were nachos, and crab quesadillas. I had a-lot of fun working on this project and learning these different commands. The video was of course a blast to make and It showed my passion for Spanish as well as cooking, and video making.
