111 Week 6

[malory rodriguez]

This week we primarily focused on what major project or assignment we should do over break. We decided that we should continue to look up and summarize articles. Which I am have not decided if that really helps me that much. I think I tend to be more confused than competent when it comes to understanding the articles. Although it could just be that I am choosing the wrong articles to summarize. Last time I chose one that was about poetry and most of the terms they used in Swedish I didn't even know what they meant in English. So hopefully that one will go better.  Then we have to look up rules on verb conjugations. This one makes me nervous, because I know there are so many ways to conjugate a verb and I forget when you use which. After Molly and I should skype twice over break to talk about what we have done over break. This one is a good one but one I am reluctant on. Just because my fear of speaking swedish aloud is still very real. And lastly we will have to write a mini essay (one page) about a Swedish tradition. It will be very similar to our cultural blogs we have to do for 111 but this time it will be in Swedish. I think this is a lot to do but forces us to continue using and learning Swedish over the break. Because if we don't practice it, we tend to forget it.
