Yo estudié Alvaro Obregon un Mexican general quien ejemplo un revuelto en contra de lidar de Mexico en 1920. Alvaro Obregon asumió la presidencia después de Venustiano Carranza obtenio asesino, el contra de lidar. Yo estudiado Alvaro Obregon porque yo quiero ver como el impactado el historia de el United States y Mexico relaciones.
Después de Mexican revolucion, el dictador escapar y un nuevo lider entrar. Alvaro Obregon apoyo el presidente y departo el trabajo cuando un agricultor a juntar la militar y librar una batalla en contra de rebeldes búsqueda poder. Obregon gano pero el presidente perderse poderío después de derrocado desde politico de partido. Obregon librar una batalla en contra de liders. Un constitución convenciónes ocurrir y desacuerdo venir y personas partir. Un nuevo batalla ser luchó Obregónon alistarse en el oposición. Obregons hombres tenan un victorio y el alistarse en el gobierno cuando ministro de guerra y de como.
Como presidente, Obregón ser interesado en obtenía sostenía de United States y edificio nuevo escuelas. El tenia 1,000 nuevo escuelas y 2,000 biblioteca pública construido.México y la United States comenzó un petróleo comercio. La United States también prestan diplomático reconocimiento. Ecatólicoco iglesia odio Obregons laico política. Después de ganador un segundo término, el era asesinado en edad 48. El religioso política era la motivación detrás su asesinato.
Mexico y la United States relación no lo haría ser adónde es hoy sin Obregon. Ël recibió diplomatico reconocimiento y principio comercio. Obregon también satisfactoriamente terminó mucho desacuerdo entre la dos país. Obregon fortalecido Méxicos educación sistema, econommia y relacións cual ayudan el vidas de personas.
Corrido I studied: http://www.musica.com/letras.asp?letra=1947744
I studied this Corrido because I wanted to get an idea on how many stanzas I could include and I wanted to see what part of Obregons life they talked about in the poem.
Project Reflection: For this project, we studied different Corridos and looked at different topics such as Cesar Chavez. We also looked at the Mexican war and looked at how the United States and Mexico relations have been with immigrants working in the United States and times where the United States has welcomed immigrant workers and times we haven’t. I then had to pick a historical event or person and picked Alvaro Obregon a Mexican general and president. I wrote a stanza and then made a website where I included my research paper, corrido and pictures.
I chose Alvaro Obregon because I was interested in how he went from a military career to politics. I was also interested in finding more information on the United States and Mexico relations. I read Obregon strengthened Mexico and the United States relations and wanted to see how he did that and also I wanted to know about how he did as president of Mexico. I wrote a 10 stanza corrido and made a website where I put information on Obregon and I included my corrido and research paper.
Three things I learned from the grammar is how to write a word in the imperfect form. I found how to write words in the past tense such as walked and instead I learned I would have to look up to walk and then put the word in the past tense form. I also learned more about writing the vocab in the masculine or feminine version. Three things I learned about the history of the US and Mexico relations is that Obregon was the first leader to receive diplomatic recognition from the US and that Mexico and the US started trade. The third thing I learned is that the US wanted workers from Mexico to come over and help during the world war but then after the war, the government sent the workers home. The most challenging part of this project was writing my paper in the correct form because I struggle with the different tenses. I overcame this by getting feedback on my paper and looking up the correct forms after I would get feedback.
Título: ¡Voy a sobrevivir! / I will survive!
For this project, we had to write a survival guide. We had to pick a Spanish speaking country and I picked Colombia as I did last year for my food project. I had to make a guide with information on the country for a tourist to use. It includes information on transportation, places to stay at and example conversations we may have. I also included information about the culture of the country and warnings on things to be aware about such as not trying to flag down a taxi in the street. I also got feedback from a spanish contact that Becca put me in touch with. He has been to Colombia and speaks spanish and was able to give me feedback for improving my guide. We also did example travel situations and acted them out. I wrote a skit with my partner, Grayson about an example situation when renting a room in Colombia.

Welcome to this Colombia survival
guide. The purpose of this guide is to ease anyone's travel when
visiting Colombia. This guide has different categories including
transportation when getting around the country, various foods and
example conversations when interacting with locals. The guide also
includes warning for a traveler's safety.
According to a late 2012 Gallup
international survey, Colombia was the happiest country in the world.
The people of Colombia are like regular US citizens. They work
during the week and enjoy doing many of the same things Americans
enjoy. Traveler's will find the Colombian people to be friendly,
helpful and trustworthy people. Many are willing to stop and help a
lost traveler get directions. Unlike some countries, Colombia boasts
a unique culture with very friendly people. Important
characteristics to know about Colombia is that the country suffers
from drug trafficking problems. The Colombian military has had a
political armed conflict with a rebel group since the mid 1900's. As
of 2012, the government and rebel group started a peace process that
has been making lots of progress that may put an end to the conflict
soon.
Food in Colombia:
Food in Colombia generally reflects the
people's Spanish tradition. Food is typically identified by size
rather then content. This is because Colombians traditionally have
large meals. Food will vary region by region. Some regions eat
roasted guinea pigs while other regions wouldn't even touch a roasted
guinea pig. One of the main diets is meat, but seafood is also a
popular meal. Lunch is the main meal of the day and dinner is just
considered a snack.

-Look at the menus and ask questions
about food before sitting down to avoid the restaurant being out
When getting into a taxi
(transportation):
Information:
Transportation in Colombia is the same
as in many developed countries. Buses are a few extra dollars, but
worth the fee because the risks of robbery are extremely slim.
Driving between cities is highly discouraged because of the risks of
robbery and flying is recommended. Taxis are another form of safe
transportation. It's often hard to flag down a taxi, so tourists
should call ahead of time. Tourists should also make sure the taxi
meter starts when traveling to a destination, otherwise you have to
negotiate with the driver. Driving in a taxi at night is also about
1/3 more than the normal rate. Traveling by boat is very unusual and
not suggested.
