Community Centered Practices

Community Centered Artifact #1 Feedback for cultural project 

During my time at Laurel Wood I made my culminating project in grade 7/8 French class a cultural presentation in which students had to detail their roots as well as a cultural tradition that came from these roots. This helped in fostering a classroom that celebrates diversity. The following is an example of 4 different feedbacks that I gave in the original (French and Translated below)

Student 1

J’aime bien que tu as inclus des divers plats russes comme ta tradition comme la oliyve et le borscht. C’était bien personnelle ! Pour la prochaine fois tu peux essayer de parler un peu plus lent et avec une voix plus forte.

Student 2

Ta fête d’une danse d’Halloween était personnelle et intéressant. Tu as détaillé l’histoire de cette tradition bien. J’ai trouvé que c’était intéressant qu’il n’y ait pas des bonbons dans cette fête ! Pour la prochaine fois fait attention aux fautes d’orthographe sur ta diapo.

Student 3

Tu as raconté tes racines françaises bien ! Et tu as relie tes racines bien à ta tradition de la veille de Noël. Tu as aussi inclus beaucoup d’information sur ta diapo. Pour la prochaine fois essaye d’avoir un peu moins de texte sur la diapo et sors tes mains de tes poches.

Student 4

Tu as bien expliqué l’histoire de ton festival (bateaux-dragons) et c’était vraiment intéressant (le poète qui s’est noyé et les zongzi qui sont lancés pour lui commémorer). Pour la prochaine fois, essaye de parler un peu moins vite pour que les gens puissent comprendre toutes les informations et histoires intéressantes que tu racontes.

Student 1

I like that you included various Russian dishes as your tradition like oliyve and borscht. It was very personal! For next time you can try to speak a little slower and with a louder voice.

Student 2

Your Halloween dance party was personal and interesting. You detailed the history of this tradition well. I thought it was interesting that there were no candies in this party! For next time watch out for the spelling mistakes on your slide.

Student 3

You told your French roots well! And you connected your roots well to your Christmas Eve tradition. You also included a lot of information on your slide. For next time try to have a little less text on the slide and take your hands out of your pockets.

Student 4

You explained the story of your festival (dragon boats) well and it was really interesting (the poet who drowned and the zongzi that are thrown to commemorate him). For next time, try to speak a little slower so that people can understand all the interesting information and stories you tell.
