This year in my Spanish II class we have discussed many different topics, including personal introductions, food, the home, and holiday traditions. We focus on conversational skills, and I feel like I am getting a lot better! My goal for Spanish is to one day travel to South America and to be able to confidently communicate with the people that I meet there
Here are some of the assignments that we have done this year.
Unit 1
Journal entry date: 9/7/2020
One way that we applied transformations to the real world was through discussing how video games were made when they were designed by hand in the early 1980s. We went through the process of designing our own video games which consisted of translations, rotations, and reflections that helped navigate the players of the video game.
It was important throughout this process that we remember the differences between translations, reflections, rotations, and dilations. [discuss the differences between translations, reflections, and rotations from dilations]
Unit 2
Journal entry date: 11/2/2020
One way that right triangle trigonometry applies to the real world is through finding the length of distances between 2 points. In geometry we used google maps and created right triangles from different neighborhoods in Atlanta. We used trig. Ratios to determine the length of the distance between the neighborhoods to different resources such as the hospital and grocery store. We then compared the length of these distances to the income in the neighborhoods. This helped to show the inequalities present in many areas in Atlanta.
Unit 6

A two-way table is a statistical table that shows the observed number or frequency for two variables, the rows indicating one category and the columns indicating the other category.A two-way relative frequency table shows us percentages or decimals rather than the observed number. Two - way relative frequency tables are good for seeing if there is an association between two variables.
