Senior Project Reflection

1.I am most proud of keeping my audience entertained especially with my activities because they learned different words in another language and also a bit of thier culture and why they say it like that. They were also entertained by my posters that said hello in six different languages.

2.(a)  P+ because i met requirements and my 2 hour was very enjoyable by everyone.

2.(b) P because so far i've done well on my interview and my research and i feel that if i did good on those then the rest has to be even better.

3. Having the research to back up what i have to say and knowing that i did an i-search paper made my 2 hour much easier and felt that i had a script the whole time.

4. The 3-column chart because it sarted too early and would have been better to have them after the i-search paper because i can get my info like that.

5. Knowing a lot about language acquisition has made me get into language more and i would like to translate for people not only as a job but to help them achive the language too. I want to be able to help people who have trouble pronunciating or writing a language because thats how its going to be in the future. Many people will know more than two languages instead of one and thats one achivement i hope to see in my future

Interpretive
I learned that not all the kids learn at the same pace. Even though they are at the age of learning new things and can learn faster than adults, they still need the patience and time to do the things. Some kids are faster than others when it comes to reading or math but others need their time to learn.

Applied
Service learning helped me the most when I would help out the kids in their homework, ssr, and when testing for their level of reading because even though its not a second language they are learning, they are taking similar steps to learning a language. When testing for their level of reading, they didnt know some words, their pronunciation was off and things like that made it similar to second language learning. Thats how I felt that it connects to my eq.
