Part 1: Usando el español

Imagine a scenario based in Costa Rica. You might be an exchange student, or a Costa Rican high school student, or a tourist to Costa Rica.You will develop a written project in Spanish describing your experiences in Costa Rica. You should include material learned from all units (basic conversation, school, housing, family, hobbies, food, shopping experiences, and community). This project should demonstrate the concepts and vocabulary that you were taught in this course. Please reference the Summary of Course Content provided in this section for this purpose. You will use the web 2.0 tool to house this written portion.

Tools for the Proyecto Final

Part 1: Usando el español

Then, record yourself speaking in Spanish (at least two paragraphs) about how your school, apartment, family, hobbies, food, shopping experiences, and community in Costa Rica compared to those in the United States. (**Please note that this is NOT the same as what you wrote in the previous bullet, but a different prompt with a different response, which is verbal. You are not simply reading what you wrote on the screen. The written portion is the description, the recording is the comparision.**) If the web 2.0 tool you chose allows for an audio component, you can include this recording with the written portion on the tool. If not, you may upload a separate MP3 or wav file with your comparison.

Part 2: In English:

What differences have you seen between the Spanish language and your native language? What did you find interesting and exciting about the Spanish culture?

What do you hope to learn if you continue to study the Spanish language?

We have learned elements of a language in a different teaching/learning style than you may be used to. Talk about your experience with learning Spanish in an online class. What did you like about the course? What did you not like and/or what could be improved?

Part 2: In English:

What things did you do that helped you learn Spanish in this course? What things can you do to improve your own Spanish learning in the future?

What things did your professor do to help you with your learning? Was there anything that your professor didn't do, but would have helped you?

Part 2 Directions

This presentation needs to be well thought out and planned. You are to be as creative as you'd like with your "product", as long as you answer the prompts thoroughly/with great detail. Please review carefully the Tips for a Great Final Project provided in this section.

Please make sure that you have included written, audio, and visual aspects to your project.

You should make your project visually appealing by using photos or clipart for illustrations. But, please note that unless the images are yours, you must cite the sources. (FYI -"Google Images" is NOT a source, but a search engine. Please see below for help citing images.)

Procedure For Citing ImagesBe certain to cite the image in its original context. Do not provide the URL of the enlarged image - you must use the URL of the page where the image was originally shown.

Hay = There is or there are

Remember that hay can mean there is or there are. So if you are saying there is or there are in your head in English, you will need Hay in Spanish.

Don't say hay es.

Tú vas = you go

El/ella/usted va = he/she goes

nosotros vamos = we go

vosotros váis = yall go

ellos/ellas/ustedes van = they go

Ir + a + infinitive= Going to..…

In your sentences you need an “a” between voy/va and the place you are going to or the verb. Always use “a” after ir when going to a place or going to do something. The “a” = to in English.

Vamos a comer los tacos.

Ir + a + infinitive= Going to do something

Yo voy a escuchar música = I am going to listen to music

Tú vas a cantar = You are going to sing
