Mi Rutina Diaria

Posted on by

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.

  1. I found your blog very interesting and enlightening but I noticed just a few mistakes…

    1. After your introductory word ‘recently in Spanish’, you should have added a comment.

    2. You say ‘what a reflexive verbs are’, but you shouldn’t have included the ‘a’.

    3. After you say ‘for example,’ your ‘I’ should be lower-cased.

    4. ‘voki’ should be capitalized.

    5. You should restate why you had to make the Voki, because it sounds like you are saying you have to make one about your activities, and that you have to do this before school.

    6. You say ‘lastly’ on the fourth step, yet you have five steps listed.

    7. It should be, ‘this project was A pretty fun thing…’

    8. It should be, ‘difficult OF an assignment…’

    9. It should be, ‘give and take’ with a comma after it.

    10. It should be, ‘you don’t have TO…’

    11. It should be, ‘you can’t hear it as WELL’, not ‘good’.

    Your recording was very good, and I liked your voice very much. It was so pretty. Like a beautiful melody wrought by the heralding of the mightiest angels.

    I agree with most of what you said, but I most agreed with how you said it.

    Why is your voice like that of an angel?
