Title of Project: International Interview Project
Semester Created: 2nd semester
Time it took to complete: more than one month
Group work or individual: group work
My favorite part of this project was to interview an Italian person because I never interview a person before. It seems very exciting to me. Actually, I like to question person about what they know about their country. However, I dislike taking the note because I like to concentrate to a person’s saying.
The most skills that I learned were how to work with groups. Each student has their own task. Basically, the job is very clearly to everyone. I learned to collaborate with my group members.
If I have a chance to do this project again, I will ask him about his personal experience in his life rather than just ask him about his country. Furthermore, I will like to choice my own favor country. Maybe, I will work with differently people next time. Moreover, teacher should assign this project again because it provides good opportunity to learn a country from actual person rather than read on the book.
Our group did great job on this project because each person has finish their own topic of Italy interview which include education, health care, religion, and woman issue. Our group did great job to prepare a lot of questions to ask that person about Italy. I felt the interview was organized very well. We are a strong group.
We compare between Italy and America, and conclude the difference between the American lifestyle and Italian lifestyle. I really enjoyed this interview, and it’s very meaningful to me.
Title of Project: A Raisin in the Sun
Semester Created: 1st semester
Time it took to complete: 3 weeks
Group work or individual: Individual essay
My favorite part was to read the whole book before I wrote the essay. The book is very interesting. It was talking about African American family’s dream. It contains theme of conflict, money, frustrated, dream and family. The least favorite part was to watch the movie; I felt it was a little longer and too much talking going on that movie. I learned how to integrate the quotes into an essay meanwhile I improved my writing skills.
I hope teacher will assign this assignment again because it’s valuable to us that we can learn not only the writing skill but we also can learn how other people live under their dream.
Actually, the rubric helps me a lot because I change my essay a lots based on the rubric. I know what teacher will be grade on. Then, I can go over to check my essay, did my essay met these requirements or not. If not, I will change it. That’s why I got good grade on my essay assignment.
Title of Project: Digital Story
Semester Created: 1st semester through the 2nd semester
Time it took to complete: more than one month
Group work or individual: Individual work
My favorite part was to create my own story; it was fun to me because it was my first time to make a movie about myself. The least favorite part of project was to narrate a speech of myself. It was hard to write paper about your own. Because of this project, I learned how to use the movie maker, and created my own story.
If I have a chance to this project again, I will do other story rather than my own story. In my International Relationship class, I created a new different digital story. This story was about the Ethiopia hunger for my presentation. If teacher wants us to do this project again, I am more likely to create digital story about current event because it’s more interesting. The teacher should assign this project again next because it’s fun.
