See the attached worksheet for the collaborative component to our portfolio. Addie really helped me come up with a new method to study for the final exam by compiling and finding resources that can challenge me in my use of the conditional and future tenses.

I provided Journal 4 because it relates well to my first reflection where I indicated that I wanted to work on my vocabulary and combining grammar structures. The journal demonstrates an increase in my ability to communicate in multiple tenses and a progression in accuracy and vocabulary from Journal 2. Seth, too, saw an improvement in his journals indicating that more practice and repetition allowed us both to solidify our understanding of all aspects of Italian grammar. Journal 2 includes the successful uses of future, conditional and present tenses along with a lot of new vocabulary. Furthermore, it reveals an improvement in my usage of articles and agreement and in my ability to transition smoothly within a paragraph.

My second journal, which is a past tense narrative, relates to my reflection 4 where I indicated that my ability to talk in the past tense has developed a lot this semester. This journal had a few errors in grammar and, similarly to Seth’s observations from his Journal 3, I found possessive and article agreement errors. In order to decrease these errors for subsequent journals, I worked on reviewing Percorsi grammatica sections, reading the provided paragraphs about Italian culture to better understand paragraph structure, and I reviewed past journals.

I provided my study guide for the past Italian test because it relates to my second reflection and reveals my use of the Percorsi text to improve my knowledge of grammar structure and vocabulary. Reading the sections, writing out the important notes, and then studying from my written notes provided repetition that helped me solidify my learning and perform better on the journals and tests.

I have included my Oral Exam, which relates to the Oral Reflection, in order to show my ability to narrate in the past tense. I think the video shows progress in that I am able to communicate fairly fluidly and understandably, but it also indicates the need for greater variation in vocabulary, which is a goal I have set for myself as I go into Italian 203.

This is the link to the first oral exam of the semester. I provided this because I wrote about it in my 3rd reflection of the semester and it shows the proficiency that I achieved in speaking Italian. Although there are minor mistakes throughout the video, the overall content of the speech is good and an Italian speaking person would be able to understand what I am saying.

I provided journal 3 to show the proficiency that I achieved in my grammar over the course of the semester. While journals 1 and 2 had significant grammar mistakes the only mistakes that were in my 3rd journal were minor possessive and article agreement errors. This progression was because of the preparation I put into the topic of this journal with both grammar and vocabulary. The few mistakes that were made were minor grammar errors, but my sentence structure was intact. The final reflection of the year helps show that I mastered a lot of the sentence structure rules, I just need to touch up on basic grammar rules.

Journal 2 provides a look at the progress I made from the first journal and shows the increase in vocabulary that I achieved. Along with that, the grade increase from journal 1 to journal 2 was significant. The mistakes that were made here relate to the second journal reflection because some of the points that I got taken off on were lack of vocabulary. Although my vocab increased from the first journal, I didn't achieve the proficiency necessary for a perfect vocabulary score.

This journal was included because it was the first primary writing assignment of the semester. When thinking about my progression over the course of the semester, this was the starting point of my Italian competency. This relates back to the first journal reflection, although not included, it provides a look into where I was entering into Italian 102. I made a lot of simple mistakes such as article agreement and possessives that could have been fixed with a simple proof reading.
