Work Sample 2: Spanish Q1 Virtual Trip
Describe the assignment and goals for the work sample you selected
In Spanish class, we did a presentation about a place that we were interested in. For this project we had $10000 to visit that place and explore it. We need to make a slideshow, visit 3 cultural sites, eat typical foods from the area, and gather some common phrases, music, and present for 5 minutes. I chose to go Barcelona in Spain
Why you chose to select this work sample to share on your portfolio?
I chose to select this work because I feel the trip that I planned was really cool. It was also exciting because I get to research things about Spain which is a country that I really would like to visit someday. It also is really fun when you get $1000 to spend
How it represents a 21st Century skill?
This project represents global awareness and informational skills. We used informational skills when we researched the project and created the itinerary on our trip. We used global awareness to learn about the areas that we chose to visit. We then used these skills to research areas of interest or cultural sites.
How the sample demonstrates your current growth?
This project demonstrates my current growth because I have done a similar project in the past and I have to say that this one is so much better. The last project I did about a trip was kind of bad and lots of my information and dates were wrong. I am so glad that I was able to fix it up in recent years.
Area of opportunity for new growth?
I would like to improve on planning trips like these. The more I do it the more prepared I will be for travel in the future. I feel being prepared is the safest way to travel. It is also nice to have a plan.
