Presentation

The purpose of the digital portfolio is to present evidences about all the

activities that we made during the semester. Even there are many

documents to upload it will be easy because we already have the e-

portfolio which is the same but it is on line. When you create a digital

portfolio you can see your improvement trough the course and you can

use it as a kind of rubric that can show you how far you are from your

goal. Create a digital portfolio is a little time consuming, but I like it

because I can remember things that I leaned in class.

My course expectations

Reflection

Even I don´t have an excellent grade, I think that I

really improve my level. I think is because I always

arrived to the class and I always hang up all the

activities that the teacher required.

I am on time to increase my note during this week by

making all the activities. Even I am about to pass,

because I have my 31 points of the exam, I want to

continue being responsible because I still have points to

reach

My best composition

Reflection

I choose this composition because in this one I only have very

few grammar mistakes. It is also because I was really inspired

when I did it and I almost have all the points of the rubric, I

think is because we did it step by step so I could better

identify the parts of a composition.

My favourite quote

Reflection

I could see the different ways of thinking of my classmates

and even their opinions are valid I differ with some. For me

Brenda´s quote is the best because I think the time is the

most important factor for all, and if you can organize your

activities, you can do all what you really want.

An inspiring person

• Reflection

I learned to express my feelings and my emotions in English,

and now I know this is the best way to remember things. It

felt good to show my experience and my way of thinking. I

think it‘ is the best way to meet and make real friends.

My blogging experience

Reflection

This kind of web pages can make the class more dynamic and even

more fun. These are useful tools to facilitate the learning of English

because you can remember and make use of an extensive

vocabulary. You also can improve by using short dialogues because

you can be more specific about what you want to say.

My favourite activity

Reflection

The teacher asked this activity because I think she wanted to know

which was the composition that we liked the most do. She made us

reflect about our work throughout the semester. For her this is the

best way to see our performance as English students. I had never

compared my work during the semester but now I see that I really

improved.

My personal values

Reflection

The teacher asked this activity because I think it is important that

each person knows what are the most important values in order to

practice them. With this activity we can learn vocabulary, and it

also makes the class more dynamic.

I had never thought about what were the main values for my, but

now I know how important they are.

My second partial video experience

My tutorial video is about how to change a baby's diaper correctly. Changing your baby’s diapers is

a difficult task, especially if you have never been around babies before, therefore I tried to

explain some tips that have helped me a lot.

After all these months, I have become an expert on changing my baby's diaper. What makes it more

difficult is that every time my baby is more restless. Also, as I mentioned in the video, he tends to

pee when I take off (remove) his diaper, but in general I think that I did it well. At the beginning of

the video I felt nervous but after I felt much more confident. Although I brought back (memorized)

a draft for the video, it was hard to keep in mind (remember) everything that I wanted to say so I

tried to do it in a natural way.

Now I feel happy because my baby could help me with my oral exam. I hope this tutorial video can

really serve someone of my classmates. I hope that after watching the video they fell up to(be

able) changing a diaper. Even if they are not parents I think it is always necessary to know how to

change a diaper.

Questions to be included in my final

speech

Reflection

I always do some drafts before submitting the a final work,

so this activity served me as a draft. Sometimes it is

difficult to follow a format however you need to have clear

ideas about what you are going to expose. I think the

teacher asked this activity as a guide to record the video

and also to show what we learned without rambling.
