Benchmark Artifact Proposal

[Becky Walker]

As I am not particularly technologically friendly, I will be using audacity as my means of recording and uploading my artifacts. This works well, as my main focus within learning Farsi is the oral component. The first artifact that I intend to upload is an introduction of myself, this will include: a greeting, my name, my age, where I live, who I am, as well as a brief description of what I am not (in order to use other adjectives).The second artifact that I will be using is a description my family. This will cover the following learning objectives that I have been working on: family members, numbers, conjugations of the verbs to be and to have, plurals, and the proper use of adjectives. My intention for selecting family as my second artifact is that family is very important in Middle Eastern countries, and a common topic of discussion. I want to be able to not only identify members of my family by their proper title, but describe them as well. This will be more comprehensive than my first, thus the reason it will be my second uploaded artifact.
