In the Beginning…

Recently in Spanish we have been studying vocabulary and grammar structures that deal with explaining a daily routine or preparing to go somewhere. Also, to help us understand this a bit better, we learned what a reflexive verbs are and how to use them. You normally use a reflexive verb when the subject and the object are the same. For example, If you were saying, “I wash myself,” you would use a reflexive verb.

What I Did

In order to show that I learned the material, I was required to use a voki to describe my daily routine before school:

1. First, I submitted a script I wrote describing our routine, which the teacher then checked and handed back.

2. Next, I corrected the mistakes pointed out to me and polished the script up a bit.

3. Then, after practicing my script a bit, I recorded it using my cellphone.

4. Lastly, my avatar was sent to my teacher and published here on my blog.

5. This was also a pretty big deal because it counted as my six weeks test grade which will replace my lowest test     grade so far.

The Aftermath

All things considered, this project was pretty fun thing to do because I got to use my own voice, it wasn’t that difficult an assignment, and it really didn’t take much of my personal time. The voki itself was pretty cool because it is like a talking picture of myself. The avatar for speaking tests is kind of give and take meaning it’s good in the respect that you don’t have o say all this in front of a class, but I think you can’t hear it as good on the avatar. I would probably rather just do it in front of the class, but the time out of the classroom is good too. This project was overall valuable to me because I learned a relatively big chunk of the Spanish language.
