Recordando a los Di Funtos Alrededor Del Mundo

The purpose of this project at my spanish class project is investigated the differences of

how the chinese celebrate the day of the deaths. When I got the project I felt that it will be

interesting because am going to learn a lot of a new country. To learn a new celebration then the

country I now from my culture. To go outside the box and actually research of countries that

called the action and will have interesting facts. A goal I created for myself and the my group is

to work like a team and split it in half and have different information that will help with the

research. In the group we were three and the three of us had split it in half and have our own

slides to know what we will say when it time to present. The important goal that we had was to

turn in the project in time and have all the facts ready to be present in the class.

The decisions that we made toward the project that we had to do was too either do

flashcards or make voices over that will tell the information of instead of making us do reading

out of board and not knowing what say. There were a lot of information that we wanted to but we

only had to put the important facts that will help us describe the information that will help us

describe the chinese festival of day of the deaths. The three hechos that we had to had to come

out form culturegrams but we had to do it in class because the website only works at school but

nowhere else. One decisions that we had to but in our project is that we had to put a video that

will help us to tell a legend that came from china and that it was important because its were they

started to recognize their dead.

 I learn that qingming festival they fly kites and in the nights they light up linters so they

can remember their love ones. Qingming festival was original was called cold food which means

that they will eat cold food no hot food. They also eat rices ball this food is cold no hot they cook

the a day before the celebration will start, also have like a type of flowers and they also clean

their love ones tomb and add fresh soil that will take the bad separate way. That in other

countries they have different culture like in mexico they use different food and a tradition.

Something that I learn from myself is that I finish the work and I was ready to present to the

class. At first I was like scared that I will do it wrong and I thought that I was not going to finish

on time but gladly I finish on time. Something i did very well was that I gather all the

information and was ready to present. An area I need to improvement in is the communication

that we need to have as a group. They hardly help me and I was stuck on certain areas and and to

find new research that will make us improve our presentation. Next time, I will improved the

voice overs because there were really rushed because their were really hard to find out how to

places it and everything. I am proud that we are finishing the presentation and be ready to present

to tell the class what we learned.

I investigated the world by researching the fun facts about the chinese and the traditions

that they do so they can remember your loved ones. I also investigated the origin where did the

qingming came from and the three fun facts that the chinese have that we don’t know. We

communicate ideas to the class room and tell the information and the fun facts that we learned

about this country. We also have communicated Ideas by coming to the spanish class and present

the presentation to there class.

Aprendo que en el festival de qingming vuelan cometas y en las noches encienden los

dintres para que puedan recordar a sus seres queridos. El festival Qingming era original, se
llamaba comida fría, lo que significa que comerán comida fría, no comida caliente. También

comen arroces. Esta comida es fría, no caliente, se cocinan el día anterior al comienzo de la

celebración, también tienen un tipo de flores y también limpian la tumba de sus seres queridos y

agregan tierra fresca que tomará el mal camino por separado. Que en otros países tienen una

cultura diferente, como en México usan diferentes alimentos y una tradición. Algo que aprendo

de mí mismo es que termino el trabajo y estaba listo para presentarlo a la clase. Al principio tenía

miedo de que lo hiciera mal y pensé que no iba a terminar a tiempo, pero con mucho gusto

termino a tiempo. Algo que hice muy bien fue que reuní toda la información y estaba listo para

presentar. Un área en la que debo mejorar es la comunicación que necesitamos tener como

grupo. Apenas me ayudaron y me quedé estancado en ciertas áreas y para encontrar nuevas

investigaciones que nos hagan mejorar nuestra presentación. La próxima vez, mejoraré las voces

en off porque hubo mucha prisa porque fueron muy difíciles de averiguar cómo colocarlas y

todo. Estoy orgulloso de que estemos terminando la presentación y estemos listos para presentar

para contarle a la clase lo que aprendimos.
