Final Blog

Me and my partner/s started the project as a class to help Latino or non English speakers a chance to learn how to read, write, speak, and understand English in general. The project was going as planned and we were making a lot of progress. Then my partner's student had gotten a different a different fast paced class to learn ahead. My partner couldn't find another student to she wanted to change the project. We first decided it to be music reviews but I thought that music genre reviews would be better. A friend of mine needed a group so I brought him in. We set up the presentation and decided to review Corridos, Electro, Rap, Reggae, and hip hop. We started listening to the music genres and had an idea of what to do. My first partner was occupied and didn't do much so I had to take over and then she got mad saying I did it wrong. 

I was winging the presentation and think i did pretty good i felt like we Didn't mess up that badly.  Good Bye see you next time. 

Week #9

This week we have made some progress i have copied my 2 slides and wrote them on the main presentation slides. I had a few problems and some bugs to fix. The slides weren't working well because the internet was down and my hot spot was not working correctly. If the presentation doesn't go as planned then I will make a video slide on YouTube and play it in class the presentation is not on my email. I will be sharing my part on Google plus and I will also add some spice or color to it this week. The final presentation will be on may eighth or on the ninth.  The finale will consist of six or eight slides

week #7

These past few weeks i haven't been working on the slide show or anything lately. I have been procrastinating and putting everything aside. My slide is nearly complete but then i have to transfer my information to my other group members and make all three of our slides fit in one we will have to take out some parts and also use the rest of the time wisely. All three of us have worked on at least 2 or 3 slides and will add 2 of our slides to the final project and present it later on. I will be adding my slides today and helping my partners also add their parts of the final project. The week we will finish is unknown but we will be done before May all of us are up to date and we know what we are going to do.


  

week #3

This week I am going to listen to random music and also work on the backgrounds. I am going to be helping my other two friends / partners on their presentations. I will also be publishing my presentation next week on my Google plus. While the newest member of our group gets adjusted i will set up a presentation for him. Our presentations will consist of 5-7 slides. The slides will be of all the different genres we are going to present on Google drive. My slides will consist of rock, rap,electro, horror-core, punk rock, metal,

week #2

This week i am going to listen to some rap and also some other genres of music i will also fix up some past mistakes i may have done on the presentation. I will post it up by next week on my google plus account. If it is not up I probably did not get to the last few genres and have not been working on the slides. My partner is also going to work on slides and also review some hop reggae and others. We may also add another person in our group and he will work on some other genres if he agrees. While the reviews have been fairly easy we have not found as many artists for each genre as we hoped. We have found some famous artists but not that many we are also looking for unknown artists.

20% 2nd week

This week me and my partner will print out comprehension words. We will use those for the first time. We want to see if our students will be able to read and right them down. If Monica's father can take the classes and succeed we will also ask her neighbors.Also people that we know that do not understand english we will try to teach them how to read this week. If Monica's dad struggles then we will slow down and work with her dad for a longer duration of time. We will print out very basic words and phrases this week. We will also staple and prepare little packets one per week. Me and my partner will start at the kindergarten level and progress to maybe a 5th grade level. That is we have printed out at this moment. We may or may not go further than 5th grade we hope this week is very succesful.
