Name of Assignment: Spanish Shark Tank
Subject: Spanish 1
Facilitator/Teacher: Ms.Cogliandro
Description of Work/Assignment:
The whole class is given the job of launching a Latin American/Spanish restaurant or café. Small groups are then tasked with researching the various Latin American cuisines and their expressions to then pitch it to the rest of the Spanish students (the sharks) in their class as their board of investors.
Which 21st Century Skill do you feel this assignment addresses, and why?
Financial Economic and business literacy skills because we pretended we owned a business therefore demonstrating our entrepreneurial spirit.
What are you most proud of from this assignment, and why?
I am most proud of the slide that I created in the project because it was my own work and I was solely responsible for it.
How did you develop and/or improve upon your 21st Century Skill with this assignment?
I developed my financial skills by researching the costs of common Spanish foods.
What was most difficult about completing this task?
The most difficult part about this project was organizing the group and directing different people to do different jobs.
How could you improve this work? If you could start over, what would you do different?
If I could start over and do something different I would have chosen different group members because my group was super disorganized like I stated before.
How does this relate to what you have learned in the past?
This relates to some previous projects that I've done in math class where I created a menu using some sort of algebra equation, but now we are doing it in Spanish class which is interesting.
How can you apply this to future learning?
I can apply this to when I need to do another project similar to this one and just remember the work method I used.
