Born Not in the USA/ Nacido NO en los eeuu

Hola me llamo Víctor. Yo vivo en Durango Colorado. Yo soy 16 años 

Explanation of project
During this project I wrote two books both were in Spanish. One of these books represented a normal day in Valdivia Chile, and the other book represented a normal day in Durango, Colorado

Title of Durango Story: Un Día en Durango 


Title of Chile Story : Un Día en Valdivia 




Reflection


During this project I learned about the differences between these two different cultures. When doing this I learned some new vocabulary that kept showing up in my research. I learned in Valdivia Chile the normal time for waking up is almost nine am. In America this would be considered late. . All throughout doing this project I was worried on how it was going to turn out. But finally just sat down and did it, and when it was done I was proud of what I had in front of me.

If I were to do this project a second time, the first thing that I would do differently would be my layout. I would use Shutterfly to do my book so that it arrived in the mail. When I did this the first time I bought a blank book and glued the pictures in, this looked very unprofessional. Another change that I would do is to revise my drafts better. When my book was finished there where a couple of errors in the text. At the beginning of this project the first thing that I thought was that finding the pictures would be the easy part. But after I had my text and I started finding my pictures I had a lot of troubles.
I used the habits of heart and mind minus the refinement. I used perseverance get through my book because I am a procrastinator. I also used perspective; I was researching the differences between these two cultures. I want the world to know that there are differences and similarities between countries
