Description
To get a "feel" for poetry from the Spanish-speaking world, I am going to create multimedia documents that demonstrate how I interpret Spanish poetry. The purpose of my project is to read, research, and construct a creative and interesting multimedia document that shows how I interpret the reading. I will tell you about the author, her life, her culture, and her language in the poem that I selected. I will take the experiences of the author and visually display them in hopes of sharing her knowledge and understanding of life and love. My presentation will include an interactive multimedia document that demonstrates my experiences with poetry through different media. The multimedia project embraces "languages" such as music, pictures, and sound affects, in addition to spoken and written Spanish, and allows me to express my understanding of what I have read in a more comprehensive way. My objective is to be able to share the information I have gathered, learned, and interpreted with a larger audience of classmates, peers, future employers, friends, and family. I will demonstrate "ownership" of my learning by showing how I used digital technologies, conducted research, read and under-stood literature in a second language, and made appropriate choices in content, media, and artistic expression, which I worked on as an individual.
