Immigration Project Reflection

My experience with my book “Once Upon a Quienceanera” was a very good book because I didn’t know about some things but since I read the book I learned what are in a quienceanera so I can tell people what it’s about. I was very happy with my choice because when Ms. Ganesan told the whole class what their book was I was happy with my choice. Then I had to buy the book and I started to read a little and it was very interesting. Something about my book is that I didn’t know, if that the dad would dance first, or if the girl boyfriend dances first but it was both and it can go either way. So that was shocking when I read that part of the book. My group they had liked the book to because they were getting deep into the book and so was I so this book was great to read. I think we should change the literature circles back to the papers because other people have problem doing the responses so that’s’ how I feel about that. The blogging was the easiest to me because, all you have to do is read the instructions and post the blog that’s it really simple. I didn’t have anything wrong with posting a blog so I was all good. Everyone in my group had the same book but we all had to paint different painting. To represent what we think is important in the book.

The painting I had done reflects on the book called “Once Upon a Quienceanera” because I had drawn a picture of a dress and the book is talking about quienceanera and having a good time. I had also drawn symbols to represent a theme about quienceanera. Then we have to paint the picture we had drawn to make the art piece more professional. I had made a easily connection to the art piece I created because the dress I painted and the symbols goes with the book so that is a easy connection made. I felt that I really did like my painting because, I didn’t know I can draw like that or paint to make it look so good people would come back and look more. Then it came out looking well done so I’m proud of myself for painting this art piece. I don’t’ think my art piece would need to look better because it looks very well done. I learned that quienceanera is different from a “Sweet Sixteen” because quienceanera are longer than a Sweet Sixteen. But I’m glad I had paint an art piece reflecting on the book.

My interview that I’ve had done went so smoothly because, my participant told me everything I had wanted to know in the interview. I thought it would have bothered my participant but she said she doesn’t mind. So I wasn’t worried about that. When I was asking my participant the question for all the interviews I’ve done. She had told me more about that one questions I had told her. It was good to learn more about what I’ve asked her also she was very into the conversation too. When the participant that I interviewed, she had told me everything I wanted to know without, having to read about what happened in China. She just told me everything right off her mind without having to tell her a question. Because she covered everything and I don’t think having to watch a PowerPoint or read a history alive help me for what I’m asking her. Because sometimes the history alive doesn’t give me the details I want to know. I think when I’ve give her the gift I created which is a painting. I think she would be speechless because I spend my class time working on it and I believe she would be happy.
