Notecard Confessions Project:
For this project, we used a trend nowadays: notecard confessions. Instead of revealing some deep truth about ourselves, we had to be creative and make it educational, especially related to our focus. This assignment would be fun to assign to students. The whole point is to create an emotional story, to evoke feelings. This would help students have a deeper, more thorough understanding of the subject matter. This week I took an exam on the Spanish conquest of America. La Malinche is a contaversial character in the conquest and has quite an interesting story. In addition to learning about history to have a deeper understanding of Spanish-speaking culture, this video is a language exercise. I replaced the odd word here and there with a cognate or a word they have to use context to figure out. In my experience, using context clues and cognates are some of the most valuable skills in language learning. Here’s my version of la Malinche, notecard confession style. |
