Final reflection espanol
- 1. We have covered many topics in Spanish 3 this quarter and have learned a lot about the language and the culture. Starting with Topic 5, we discussed different art forms using vocabulary and exploring the Hispanic culture. During this topic, we also reviewed all of the verb tenses and their conjugations that we had previously learned during the year. Our big project that we created during this topic was a timeline of a famous Hispanic artist as well as our own representation of one of their works of art. My partner and I chose the painter Salvador Dalí and learned a lot about his life, his artwork, and his Spanish background. Individually, we both chose one of his most famous paintings called “The Persistence of Time” and made our own version of it. Studying the arts in Spanish gave the entire a class a better understanding of the vocabulary and Hispanic culture. In Topic 6, we discussed things found in the city including parts of a car and the cardinal directions. During this topic we focused mostly on commands using different forms. For our main project, each person in the class individually planned a trip around a city. We had to use different directions and commands to express where exactly we were going. In Topic 7, we discussed the aspects of trips or vacations. We began this topic with an oral class interview about where they were going on vacation and some details about it.

My favorite part of the semester was working with future tense because I found it to be very easy and I was surprised to know that it is actually used a lot! The other tenses were a challenge though that I’m still having problems with today. I could definitely improve on my spelling and pronunciation when writing and speaking in Spanish. Next year I am enrolled in Spanish 4 and I’m excited to take it because I love learning a new language and I think it will be very useful in my future life.
