Its been a while since I've last wrote one my blog so let me tell what the last few weeks. We've finally finished the I belong to project and we went on a flied trip both of which you can learn about under my humanities page. This week my class and I started on two different but similar projects, one is about dia de los muertos and the other is about interviewing people and making their stories known before something happens to them. If you want to learn about the dia de los muertos project go under the Spanish page and click on it. For most of the week Dr. P wasn't here so we had to learn about the beginning of the project, we started off by listening to many interviews but the one that caught my attention was an animated interview about how Ramon "Chunky" Sanchez and how in his school Hispanic names were changed to English like how they called him Raymond or a classmate of his went from Maria to Mary. That all changed when a new classmate named Facundo arrived and the teachers didn't knew what to nickname him. The reason I think this story got my attention was because first I know who Chunky is and how the story was animated, also his sense of humor made the story more interesting. The day after we had to demonstrate what a good and bad interview was, the most interesting one was when Javier and Peter showed what a bad interview is. This demonstration caught my eye because they on purposely add humor that could happen and how a interviewee can say something offensive to you. After seeing other interviews and hearing one about a person who passed away made me realized I should interview my grandpa because he's already 83 and I really want the world to hear his story. When I interview him I would want to learn about some of the mistakes he made because he always tells me the good things he's done but I want to learn some stories that he never told.
