In this book project it was very difficult to do if you are a huge procrastinator like me. Me and my partner were able to do this project on time just not to the best of our abilities and for that we have got the grade we deserved. Since the grade we have gotten was very low we have decided to resubmit the book to present with a better looking book and above this is what is above. To go above and beyond with our presentation me and my partner created a puppet show which gotten us way higher grade in the presentation aspect

College Interview

​For this project we had to create a video about the college of our chose in Spanish using basic conversation from Spanish 1. For the video we had to pick the college and find information about it to make the interview realistic . The video included a college interviewer and a potential candidate, as the interviewee.

Spanish Book Project

​For this project, we were asked to create a children's book in Spanish using various parts of speech and things we learned in quarter 2. After creating this book we will present this story to our fellow classmates. This book may consist of 10 pages and tell a story in a way the other students understand. Each pair of students worked together to create this story. My partner and I worked together and created a story called "Elena y el Brazo Roto", which is about A young girl who breaks her arm on a very important day. Please Enjoy! 

Dia De Los Muertos Proyecto

For this project we had to write about a passed family member in our lives. For me I didn't want to do a family member so I did my cat who had recently died. After we did a write up we had to make a video in spanish explaining your person and why they were important to you.





SPANISH Q1 BENCHMARK

By Aedan Will


Just a few months ago I had to put my cat to sleep. She was very sick and you could tell that she wasn’t at all happy. She wouldn’t eat. She wouldn’t drink. And she wasn’t using her litter box at all. She wouldn’t even clean herself. So we decided to take her to the vet. It turned out that she had a hole in the roof of her mouth. The veterinarian told my dad and I that mucus was dripping down from her nasal cavity into her digestive track causing her to become sick. He also told us that she possibly could have a tumor in there as well causing the hole to not properly heal. If we were to give our cat treatment it would have put her in a lot of pain, it would have cost thousands of dollars, and we didn’t know how many years she had left in her either. So we had to make the very tough decision of putting her to sleep. This was a extremely sad moment in my life that I will never forget, especially since I chose to be in the room while she was put under.


Her whole life she couldn’t see very well because she was born cross eyed. Even though she was cross eyed she had deep blue eyes with what looked like very dull sparkles of red and yellow. Near the end of her life her vision worsened to the point where she could barely see to the point where she could only see the distinction of shapes right in front of her. And on top of that her hearing was going as well. You would have to be at least 5 feet away from her so that she could hear your voice.


Every night in the middle of the night she would yowl as if she was lost in hallway and couldn’t find her way to my room. I would have to loudly coax her into my room so that she would stop. Sometimes she wouldn’t even come into my room though. So I would either have to hiss at her until she would go away or go get her and bring her back into my room.


Every day after I would come home from school she would hop up on my lap and stay there for as long as I would let her. She would purr up a storm and feel like a warm puffball laying in my lap. She would also come and snuggle up next to me in bed at night. She had a thing for getting as close to your face as she could. Sometimes to the point where she would be directly on your pillow. She was always just happy to be around people.


I decided to use my cat as my topic for this project because she was a very big part of my life. She was always there as long as I could remember even when I was little. Infact my dad had actually had her since before I was even born. In all my memories of my dad’s house she was always laying on the couch, someone’s bed, or someone’s lap. She wasn’t a very active cat and would never play with a toy either. She didn’t even care much for catnip. But she would always cheer you up by laying on your lap if you had a bad day. Her climbing into your lap and laying there would always relieve you of stress and anxiety.


My sugar skull reflects my cat because it is painted red, yellow, and blue to represent the colors of her eyes. These colors represent her eyes. Even though her eyes were very blue I could always notice very dull sprinks of yellow and red in them as well. I decided not to include any gray on my skull because I never felt that the color of her fur fit her personality even though it was a very pretty tone of grey.


Día de los Muertos has made me realize that we shouldn’t mourn the passing of our loved ones. Is that what they would have wanted? For us to cry over them? For us to only think that we will never see them again? I personally don’t think so. I think that they would have wanted us to celebrate all of the good times that we had with them. To remember who they were and what they meant to us, what the did for us, and how they were apart of our lives. To cherish the time we were able to spend with them. I will always remember my cat fondly, And I will never forget her. I hope that she is in a better place and isn’t in pain any more. Her name was cat and she lived to be sixteen years old.

For the Children's book we had to write a story about a kid who is sick. For this project me and my partner write about a kid named Pablo who got sick from school lunch, and also because he forgot to wear a jacket. This project was really fun to do, and also it was fun to present in front of class because it let us express what we can create. I enjoyed watching other people present their books because it shows how everyone writes differently.

College Interview

The college interview was exactly what it says it was. We had to act out a college interview. I actually enjoyed making this video it was very fun working with Wesley and Aaliyah. They are very hard workers and are very intelligent. Overall, this project was very fun to make, and I feel like I did it well, and my grade reflected it.

Tech project

In slide 1 my word was anonymous. It was anonymous because if I posted online I would be unknown.
In slide 2 my word was don't. I chose don't because my online choices don't affect me. I don't do anything positive or negative online.
In slide 3 I chose the  word doesn't. I chose doesn't because my online choices don't affect other people nor myself.

Dia de los muertos

                   My Grandma

The person that passed was my beloved grandma Haja Baindu. She was born December 5, 1942 and passed away June 15, 2003. She meant the world to me. She took care of me from a very young  age until I she died. She was a very moderate , friendly,  multicultural , and really easy going woman .Her  heart  was  big  enough  to  fill  a  room . At  a  young  age  I  recognized  her  as  my  2nd   mother  and  treated  her  as  so . Even  though  her  heart  was  big  and  was  a  caring  person ,  she wasn’t  to  tolerate  nonsense . She  disciplined  me  and  my  other  two  cousins  all  the  time . We  gave  her  a  huge  headache . She  didn’t  really  have  a  job ,  but  she  loved  taking  care  of  kids  as if  it  were  her  passion . Some   would  say  she  was  a  personal  babysitter .  We  shared  a lot  of  things  such  as  our  favorite  color  and  food .Not  only  was  she  like  a  mother  to  me ,  but  she  was  an  important  pillar  in  the  family . It  was  a  grim  day  for  non-family  and  family.

I  chose  to  do  the  sugar  skull  on  my  grandma  hadja  because  she  is  the  one  of  the  few  people  I  was  affected  by  when  she  died . When  she  died  I  was  four  and  I  remained  calmed  until  they  brought  out  the  casket . Some  would  say  I  was  in   a  state  of  shock . I convinced  my  brother  to  tell  them  to  open   the  casket .  Once  I  saw  her  body  I  began shouting  ,  kicking   and  screaming   for  her . I  even  reached  in  to  feel   her  cold  ,  now  lifeless  hand .  I  gazed  at   her  5’3 ,  big  boned  body  with  dreary  eyes . She   was  80  when  she   died . They  buried   her  body  in   her  home  town   of  sierra  leone . After  she  died  I  didn’t  look  at  death  the  same  or  take  it  serious .  I  lost  lots  of  people  in  my  life ,  but  never  would  I  cry . That  was  the  last  day  I  cried  over  anyone . When  Ms.Moran  brought  up  this  project ,  she  was   the  first  person  I  thought  of  for  this  project .  I  decided  I  wanted  to  show  my  love  and  appreciation  for  her  through  this  creative  project .Dia  de  los  muertos  is  a  happy  time  after  all.


My  Sugar skull  reflects  my  grandmother  by  incorporating   things  about  her .  I  had  made  the  rings   around  her  eyes  blue  because  that  was  her  favorite  color (mine too). That  wasn’t  the  only   purpose  for  the  blue . It  also  represented  one  of  the  three  sierra leonean  colors ( blue, white , and green),  which  are  all  included .  The  colors  on  the   flag  mean  green  symbolizes   agriculture ,  mountains ,  and  natural  resources ,  white  represents  unity  and  justice ,  and  blue  the  sea  and   the  natural   harbor  in  Freetown . I  added  them  because  she  was  a  little  patriotic . I added  the  google  eyes  to  show  off  her  beautiful  eyes .  I  added  the  brown  to  show  her  skin and  how  down  to  earth  she  was . Even  Though  she  was  down  to  earth  and  well  rounded , she was  able  to  dazzle  up . She  loved  to  dress  me  up  all  the  time   even  if  I  wasn’t  gonna  go  anywhere .  I  also  added  yellow  to  represent  the  color  of  the  oil  of  our  favorite  african  dish , potato   leaf.

On  the  skull ,  I  tried  to  paint  a  brown  hijab  to  represent  that  she  was  a  muslim  and  I  painted  a  crescent  and  star  to  represent  that  she  made  haj . Haj  is  the  pilgrimage  to  the  kabba .


Día  de  los  Muertos  has  opened  my  mind  to  the  celebration  of  my  loved  ones ,  by  showing  me  that  there  are  greater  things  to  do  when  a  loved  one  passes  then   my  own  traditions .

Dia de los Muertos


Aunt Judy


For my project, “Día de los Muertos” I decided to do my Aunt Judy who passed away on April 19th, 2012 from breast cancer. She was only fifty six years old. She got diagnosed with cancer in 2002. She didn’t have trouble with the cancer till a few years later. So she had to go through chemo, surgeries, cutting her hair and so much more. Cancer takes a lot of people but my aunt kept working, and taking care of her own three kids by herself. In March of 2013 my aunt was put into hospice. This meant the person lives at home, and has to be taking care of my family or nurses. On April 18th, we knew this was going to be the last time we had with my aunt. She couldn’t talk, she was in so much pain.


People always ask me “What did your aunt mean to you?” “Did she teach you anything?” I always think about these questions and sit and reflect on what my aunt has taught me and how this whole death affected my life. My Aunt Judy meant the world to me. Every time she walked into a room, the vibe in the room would just get better. She was one of the most important/ influential people you’d ever meet. Two things she taught me is no matter what life throws at you always remember to stay on your feet, and always live life to the fullest because you never know when the last time you’ll talk to someone. My aunt judy was a hardworking, bubbly, caring, loving person.



I decided to make my sugar skull and mask in remembrance of my aunt to show people what she was like and what she loved to do. For my mask, I colored it pink, and left some parts of it white. The reason I colored the mask pink is because my aunt had breast cancer. Around the eyes of my masks, and the cheeks I added heart stickers to symbolize and show that I loved my aunt. I used purple and pink hearts because purple was my aunt’s favorite color.



The sugar skulls reflects my aunt’s passion for the beach. She loved going to Wildwood, New Jersey every year. She loved the ocean, the sand, the food, the arcades, just everything there. I painted my sugar skull blue and yellow to represent the ocean and the sand. I added blue feathers to also represent the ocean, and used a seashell because my aunt liked seashell

Día de los Muertos has opened up my mind a lot about celebrating loved ones who past away. Before I got this project I thought Día de los Muertos was a bad holiday because it was the day of the dead. In my opinion, death is a horrible thing and it’s hard to bring up the memories of the person, and what happened to them. Día de los Muertos made me think about how it is okay to be happy and celebrate someone who meant a lot to you. On this day you shouldn’t be sad they’re gone, you should be happy that you’re celebrating someone you loved. I think after doing this project I am going to start doing Día de los Muertos in memory of my Aunt and Grandmother because I knew they would want us to celebrate their life and keep their  

legacy alive, and not be sad all the time.

For this project we had to write about a loved one who passed away. We had to make a sugar skull and mask that represented our person who past away. This was my favorite Spanish project so far because it let us express our person, and show how much they meant to me. I miss my aunt everyday, and this project meant a lot to me.

College Video

This project is about making a video about a professional college interview. My favorite part was working with my partner and making the actual video. It was hard to create the actual video and putting it together without interruptions

For this project we were put into to groups of 2. We had to write a book displaying our understanding of the clothing and weather. In our book we wrote about how Pablo woke up sick and his mom thought he was lying.

The Internet and You

Slide 1 : Slide 1 states my name and the tittle of my creative project.

Slide 2 : Slide 2 represents Self-expression , which how the internet affects me. It lets me express my feeling through pictures and etc.

Slide 3 : Slide 3 represents how I think other are affected by The internet I think from cyber bullying others get sentimental and suicidal sometimes not all the time.

Slide 4 : Slide 4 represents my number one rule for others posting online to always be safe.

Powerpoint

For the Ser and Estar project, we had to create slides and make videos speaking in Spanish. We had to describe the different things that ser and estar were used for. We also showed examples by making conversation using those terms

Professional Interview

For this project our objective was to host a college interview between a college professor and a potential student. In the video I was the professor and my partner, Asmar Beyah was interested in attending our chosen school, which was Drexel University. We both asked each other questions that in some way referred back to neighborhood, likes/dislikes, family, food, clothing, etc. 

Spanish Book

SpanishBook
This project was fun for me. I believe it was fun because I got to design my pictures and make them look the way that I wanted. Also my partner and I collaborated well so that we could get the project done. The point of the project was to see how much we knew and how much we could put on paper. It was good way for me to see how much I know.

Spanish Interview Video

​In this project we had to create a video about an interview that happens at a college. For this project I worked with Zack Waxler and we were able to get it done in time. We took several different takes to get it done and we finally got one complete run through that was acceptable. I think that the questions we asked were answered accurately in Spanish and the questions that were asked were sort of complex.

College Interview Video

This is a pair video I did for my Spanish 2 class. We had to do an interview for the college we chose (we did University of Pennsylvania). I was the headmaster and Haniah acted as the interested student. The video took a lot of editing and was a pain to film with all the retakes. I'm just glad it's all over.

Spanish Book Project

For this project, we were asked to create a children's Spanish book using parts of speech to tell a story and present it to our fellow classmate. This book must consist of at least 10 pages and use images and words to describe a doctors visit. Each pair of students worked together to create this childrens Story. Mecedes Smith and I worked together on this book called "Elena y el Brazo Roto". This story described a young girl named Elena, who broke her arm on a very important day. I hope that you enjoy this story.
