Lip Dub $$,$$$

I think for the lip dub money, we should help clean-up and redo some of the bathrooms, buy some new technology for the teachers that may not have as much in their classes, and then put some money away into savings to have in case of emergencies. If the bathrooms were cleaner, more people would have respect for them and try to keep them clean. Now, they just write on the walls and throw trash everywhere. If teachers had newer technology, they could come up with better and funner teaching methods to keep the students interested and wanting to learn more. Also, if we kept some of the money in savings, we could pull it out in case something got destroyed, if we had to buy a new set of books for a class, or if the school just wanted to buy something else thats fun or needed for the school when the time comes. There are many ways to spend the $10,000 lip dub money, but  I think these are the best ways.

Spanish Heroes

The legend of Wilfred "The Hairy"

Although the year of his birth is unknown Wilfred "The Hairy" was of Hispanofranco descent and son of Sunifred of Urgel. He became Count of Urgel and Cerdenyá and in ?877 was named Count of Barcelona, Besalú and Girona by French King Charles "The Bald" as reward for his services. Wilfred worked to repopulate and link the 5 counties and built fortifications in towns as far South as the River Llobregat.

This strengthening of his territories caused the Moors to fortify Lleida. Wilfred in turn saw this as a direct threat and led a failed attack on the city which in turn provoked the Moors into attacking Barcelona. When Wilfred died in battle defending Barcelona against the Moors in ?897 A.D. his titles passed to his son.
Legend has it that the Catalan flag has its origins in the coat of arms presented to Wilfred by Charles the Bald as a reward for his bravery after he was injured in battle. According to the legend the King visited Wilfred in his tent where he lay bleeding, wet his fingers with Wilfred's blood and traced four lines across the injured Count's golden shield.
Whether or not the legend is true the design was used as the coat of arms of Aragon .Today it forms the basis of the flags of the 4 Autonomous Comunities which made up the Kingdom of Aragon; Aragón, Catalonia, Valencia and the Balearic Islands.

Home videos

I chose a video called "Teach Your Children Spanish With Professor Toto" . It's an educational video on clothing .  I think if students watched videos like these, it would help them to learn more . If videos are fun, colorful, and simple, it catches and keeps their attention . The quality of the video is pretty good.  https://www.gaggle.net/main.do#GaggleTube is the website for the video, I couldnt get a direct link to the video, but surch for it under the title and you will find it.

poema ; La Rama Seca

He robado una flor, con cuyo aroma
era mas dulce el viento matutino
Quizas por eso fue que en el camino
me siguio, revolando, una paloma.

Y en mi jardin, -jardin sin un retono,
donde ya no hay amor para quien ama,
me tropiezan los pies con una rama,
entre la yerba triste del otono.

Y yo, que se que el arbol sin un nido
se parece a una nina sin muneca,
pongo la flor sobre la rama seca
para hacerle creer que ha florecido .

i think that this poem is very confusing. I transferred it into English & it didnt make too much sense .

Spanish 2 ; TRIP blog

If I could choose any country to visit with my friends, it would be Spain. In Spain, there are many activities to do, like seeing dances, going to fiestas, and visiting famous art galleries. I would go to many spanish restraunts and try many new things. I think seeing the people and what type of activities they do, would be the most memorable thing. In Spain, they use pesos as their form of money. I would need a very big amount of money in order to enjoy this trip so i can experience the different parts of Spain.

This link, takes you to the page of where I found the current event. This article was about how Spain has a long history of domestic terrorism. There has been many bombs and killings, over the years 1968-2008. Over 800 people killed from bombs between the years 1968 and today. Although, travelers may have some dangers heading in that direction, attacks are usually targeted and aren't considered random acts of terrorism. I think that Spain is a very beautiful country from what I have seen in pictures and learned about. I do think that there will always be risks that you have to be aware of if traveling to a different country. If you are going to a place where a lot of problems have been going on, then be aware of your surroundings.

spanish experiences

In Spanish, I would like to learn to how communicate with others in Spanish. I would like to understand what other people are saying. I think it would help out getting a career later in life. When it comes to learning another language, it takes me a while to learn it. I have to study more and pay more attention to learn the things that i need to know to accomplish passing this class. I am not a big studier so I have to work on that. I learn best in a fun, hands-on enviornment. When a class can keep me awake and paying attention, then I know I'm going to pass. Listening to music while I study or learn helps me focus. Overall, I think that I will do well in this class.
