Course Narrative
This class of Span 306 helped me to fulfill the MLO3 Literacy and Cultural Knowledge. In the class we review the history from the Colombian origins unto the present. As an activities of the class reviewing as a group, discuss the topics we were seeing to retain information and make our knowledge to expand. We took quizzes and exams as part of the class. And as a class we celebrate the Afro Latinx Culture, this project consisted in that every group present a little piece of what our Afro Latinos brought to our culture. Also, we had the opportunity to present a topic related to culture and language. In this case, my theme to present together with my classmate was how American culture influences our present generations in speaking Spanish.
