College interview
This project gave me the experience of what an interview would be like. I was able to interview someone and give them the experience also. This project gave me a practice experience and I enjoyed it.
Conversational PowerPoint
The hard part about this project was remembering the lines and the pronunciations of the words in Spanish. The good part about this project was learning more about ser and estar better. Another good part about this project was my partner and I were able to stay after school and had someone who was recording us.
Spanish Conversational Presentation By Alicia Nelson and Benjamin Hahn
On this project we had to make a presentation on the Spanish verbs ser and estar and create videos according to our sentences using ser and estar. We had to make slides on the many categories of the verbs ser and estar and includes spanish material like articles, possessive pronuns, subject pronuns , etc. I enjoyed doing the project because it helped me better understand and use the verbs ser and estar.
Conversational Collaboration
On this Project we had to do short videos of me and my partner speaking in Spanish. We had to have a conversation about nine different categories, which were Location, Origin, Characteristics, Condition, Time and date, Identification, Time and Place of Event, Preposition "De" and Opinion. I think this helped me more with my Spanish.
Madre Me Siento Enfermo
For this project I had to illustrate and write a children's book. I also had to read my book in front of class for a presentation grade. This project was all about simple sentence structure. It was an easy project but not as easy as one would think, it was interesting to write an entire story in another language.
Conversational Prezi Project
For this project, my partner and I either had to create a PowerPoint or Prezi about the Spanish verbs "ser" and "estar," and the different categories they are used in. We had to compare and represent the different categories, along with adding video clips and pictures.
Día de los Muertos

Spanish 2 benchmark English reflection
My Grandfather
My grandfather passed away when I was younger. I don’t remember the exact day or year but i’m pretty sure it was between 2011 and 2013. Most of my life I lived outside of the city where I never really got a chance to talk to him or know him. Around 2008- 2009 my family moved back to Philadelphia and I still didn’t get to meet him until maybe a year later. When I finally met him he was very happy to see me. I had some very old memories of him from my younger years but it wasn’t anything I would say was important. When I met him we connected a lot because we had many similarities and similar interests. He played a role to create the way I am today.
My grandfather meant a lot to me and still does. I feel like without him I wouldn’t be the person I am today. He is the one who got me interested in technology. When I was younger I liked technology but I never really knew what it could do or how things worked. Whenever I came to his house I always learned something new. He always showed me new things about phones, computers, and other technology. I remember one time he gave me a keyboard piano and I started learning how to play it. I think that really started my interest in music and instruments. He taught me a lot about phones and computers and how they work. After that I have always had an interest in how technology work. Finally, he was a very religious person. He always talked about the bible and church. He taught my family and I to stay positive and what we should and shouldn’t do. Everyone in your life teaches you something and I think he taught me a lot.
I decided to create my sugar skull in remembrance of my grandfather because he’s the only one I was pretty close to that died. I knew him enough to be able to describe him and share my thoughts on him.
My sugar skull reflects my grandfather by using two basic concepts to describe the overall type of person he was. I used a lot of glitter on the skull and I put a cross on the face. Glitter is very bright and colorful which is how you could describe him. He was a very smart person and it was very obvious even if it was your first time meeting him. He had many interests and was a very curious person. My grandfather used his interests to gain more knowledge and pass it on. I rarely ever saw him in a bad mood. He was the one who the family would always come together to see and he brightened many people's day. I put a yellow cross on the forehead of the skull to represent religion. He was a very religious person. I used yellow because it is a bright and noticeable color. He made it very noticeable that religion was something he followed to the max because he would always talk about it. I remember he had a group of friends that he studied and discussed the bible with. He would always have them over or be on the phone with them. His good spirit and participation in religion is what I tried to show on the sugar skull by using bright colors, glitter, and a cross.
I guess Día de los Muertos has opened my mind up to celebrating the passing of loved ones by making me think about the positive. Most people here in America take death as a bad or scary thing. People think about dead people as just not physically being here anymore but I think we should think about the good they left behind. Everyone leaves something behind whether it’s good or bad and people should remember that. Nothing lasts forever so you should enjoy the time it’s here and celebrate the fact that it lived as long as it did when it goes. I think I've learned to enjoy things why you have them and to never forget the impact that was left on you. If you ever get close to someone that means they’ve put a part of themselves in you. Never forget that and pass it on. There’s a positive in every negative and I've learned that it’s up to me to choose which one I think I should look at.

Spanish Children's Book - Pictures of the Book
In October 16th, John woke up at 8:00 in the morning. John panicked because he knows that he has school today. His mom yelled “We’re leaving in 15 minutes” and that made him quickly get ready for school. He brushed his teeth, washed his arms, and put clothes on. With no time to spare, he ran downstairs to grab a banana and left the house.
When John was in the car, he had a weird feeling in his stomach and he made a weird noise. “Are you okay?” his mom asked him. “Yeah I’m fine…” he said said in a painful tone. John was trying to survive in the car because his stomach was hurting him. When he got out of the car, the pain went away. John was very confused; it was like nothing was wrong with him.
During school, John’s stomach pain started coming back. His friends thought he had a disease, so they did not talk to him. John didn’t care that he was sick, but he was walking like a dead man. He realized that his stomach was a problem, so he wanted it to stop. He drank water, ate food, and went to sleep, but nothing worked.
He went to the office, “I need my temperature to get checked.” he said. The nurse checked his temperature and he found out he has a 104.3! John was shocked and nervous when he found out because a temperature like that is rare. The nurse ran to the phone and called John’s mom telling her to pick him up because of the temperature.
John was waiting for his mother in the office. The nurse was constantly watching over him being scared of what could happen to him. “I’m not feeling good.” John said in a disgusting tone. The nurse panicked even more and ran out the room so she won’t pass out. 5 minutes later, John’s mom came.
John’s mom was in shock. She didn’t know what to say. John couldn’t tell if her she was going to pass out or cry. All she did was grab John and ran out the school. When they got into the car, John’s mom drove to the hospital.
John couldn’t breathe when he reached the hospital. He never seen his mom cry that much before. John’s mom knew his son’s life was in his hands. All she could do was sit down and pray. John never felt so bad for his mother.
Things were not looking good for John. The doctor was worried what could happen to him. John looked like he had a disease instead of a cold. The doctor did all that he could do for John, then left the room. John’s mother was looking for answer from the doctor, but he didn't say a word.
John’s mom went in the room with tears on her face. John saw her, so he tried to smile for her. John’s mom started crying harder. John closed his eyes ending his life, but he opened his eyes again. He was in bed and it’s Saturday; John noticed it was a dream.
John got out of bed and went downstairs to eat breakfast. He bumped into his mother saying good morning. While he was eating breakfast, he told his mom the dream he had. His mom had a few reactions to the dream saying that’s scary. John said “Yeah it was, but I'm glad that is was only a dream.”
Spanish:
El 16 de octubre, John se despertó a las 8:00 de la mañana. John entró en pánico porque sabía que tenía escuela hoy. Su madre gritó: "Nos vamos en 15 minutos" y lo hizo llegar rápidamente listo para la escuela. El cepillo sus dientes, lavó los brazos y ponío su ropa. Sin tiempo, él corrió abajo para tomar un banana y salió de la casa.
Cuando John estaba en el coche, él tenía una sensación extraña en el estómago y hizo un ruido extraño. "¿Estás bien?" le preguntó su mamá. "Sí estoy bien...", dijo en un tono doloroso. John estaba tratando de sobrevivir en el coche porque su estómago le estaba lastimando. Cuando salió del coche, el dolor se fue. John estaba muy confundido; fue como si nada estaba mal con él.
Durante las clases, el dolor de estómago comenzó a volver. Sus amigos pensaron que tenía una enfermedad, y no hablan con él. John no importaba que estaba enfermo, pero caminaba como un hombre muerto. Se dio cuenta de que su estómago era un problema, y él quería que deje de molestar. Él bebía agua, comía comida y se fue a dormir, pero nada funcionó.
Fue a la oficina, "Necesito mi temperatura revisado" le dijo. La enfermera revisio su temperatura y se vio que tenía un 104.3! John fue sorprendido y nervioso cuando se vio porque una temperatura cómo eso era rara. La enfermera corrió hacia el teléfono y llama la mamá de John y le dice que necesita recoger a él debido a la temperatura.
John estaba esperando su madre en la oficina. La enfermera estaba constantemente mirando sobre él porque estaba asustado de lo que podría ocurrir a él. "No me siento bien" John dijo en un tono desagradable. La enfermera aún más pánico y funcionó hacia fuera de la habitación así que ella no pase hacia fuera. 5 minutos más tarde, vino la mamá de John.
La mamá de John estaba en shock. No sabía qué decir. John no podía decir si ella se iba a desmayar o llorar. Escogió John y corrió fuera de la escuela. Cuando llegaron al coche, la mamá de John llevó a John al hospital.
John no podía respirar cuando llegaron al hospital. Él nunca vio su madre llorar mucho antes. La mamá de John sabía que era la vida de su hijo en sus manos. Lo único que podía hacer era sentarse abajo y llorar. John nunca se sentía tan mal por su madre.
Cosas no miraban buena para John. El médico estaba preocupado lo que podría suceder a él. John parecía que tenía una dolencia. El médico hizo todo lo que podía hacer para John, y luego salió de la habitación. La madre de John fue en busca de la respuesta del doctor, pero no dijo una palabra.
La madre de John fue en la habitación con lágrimas. John la vio, así que trató de sonreír para ella. La mamá de John empezó a llorar más fuerte. John cerró los ojos poner fin a su vida, pero abrió los ojos otra vez. Estaba en la cama y era el sábado; John notó que era un sueño.
John se levantó de la cama y bajé a desayunar. Él golpea a su madre diciendo: “Buenos días”. Mientras él estaba comiendo el desayuno, le dijo a su madre el sueño que tenía. Su madre tenía algunas reacciones en el sueño diciendo que da miedo. John dijo "sí fue, pero soy alegro porque era sólo un sueño.
