What We Learned

       The first day of class, Dr. Rood wrote some Spanish sentences on the board and we tried to find out what they mean. It was a very confusing class at first, but when I got to know his objective by doing this, it became much more interesting. We learned how to make paper footballs, how to solve and write a cryptogram. We also played a game of charade, which was very interesting, but amazingly difficult to solve. These activities are not just for fun. They teach us that we do not have just one way of communication; sometimes we have to convey a message that we can not really explain with just word. For example, to teach a friend how to make a paper football, we have to use both verbal and visual demonstrations. What I most enjoyed in this class is making a paper football and playing with my friends in class, as well as outside class; it was fun.
