Blog 7 - Continuing My Inforgraphic

This past week, I have continued to work on infographic. I added a lot of pictures and facts in order to make it interesting, yet I was only able to fully complete the information for Vietnam and America. I am only half way through with completing Spain and Morocco. Here is what I have completed on my infographic.

 

However, I was not able to meet my goal of finishing my infographic since I was busy with school. I will go back on track over expeditions since there will be more time for me to fix and revise my infographic. In addition, I will be revising my blogs to make them more interesting so that I can improve my cognitive skills. Lastly, I will be working on my presentation that will include my reflection about my whole project.

Blog 6 - Making My Infographic

 

This week, I have started to create my infographic and am staying on track with my plan. I have included all the information that I want to include, which is a brief summary of the benefits of traveling, and some of the most interesting facts that I have found about Spain, Morocco, Vietnam, and the United States. However, my infographic is far from done. I have only include one picture yet. Therefore, throughout the next week, I plan to add more colors and visuals to make my infographic more engaging. To do so, I will ask my peers for feedback on how to make it better.

Blog 5 - Research on Vietnam and America

Over the past two weeks, I was able to complete research on the traditions and culture of Vietnam and America. I was super excited to research Vietnam, since it is where my parents are from and I was excited to see if there were some things that I didn't know about Vietnam's traditions. I was also excited to research America because I live in America and it is also easier to travel to different places in the U.S.



Vietnam
For my research on Vietnam, I learned more about my favorite holiday, Tet. Tet is Vietnamese New Year and to my surprise, I was able to learn a lot more about Tet. Besides the typical food like sticky rice cake, parades, and lucky money, I was able to learn some of the decorations used for Tet. The Vietnamese place cay neu, which is a bamboo plant in front of their house.

America

Surprisingly for America, research was a bit hard for me. I learned that since America is such a diverse place, there are many traditions and cultures. However, some of the things that made the United States unique is our love for super bowl commercial and iconic landmarks like Times Square and Hollywood.

                                           

Now, all of my research has been done. My next step is to compile all of the information and create my infographic!
