Guión(script): Hola, me llamo garrett, bienvenidos a mi presentación. Guatemala es un país centroamericano al sur de México, y está lleno de comida icónica, mercados y música. Sobre el tema de la comida, los dos más populares son los chuchitos y el pepián. Los chuchitos son un alimento que generalmente se sirve como aperitivo y están hechos de masa de maíz, salsa de tomate, carne y hojas de maíz secas.
Reflection Questions:
What did you like about this project?
I liked learning about Guatemala. It was a place I had heard of before, but never delved into, and it was really interesting to learn about the tradition and culture there.
What were some of the most interesting discoveries you made while working on this project?
What fascinated me the most was finding out about the Marimba Chapinlandia. It is really interesting to see a group based on one instrument, and even more so to find out that they have been at it since 44'.
What was the most difficult part?
Writing the script. I'm no stranger to writing things like scripts, but to do so in Spanish was an entirely new experience. It forced me to put the language I had been learning only in chunks into a format that flowed and was long-winded.
What would you like to learn more about?
I would really like to learn more about the culture of markets there. All I have really seen are the pictures shown in the slideshow, so it would be interesting to dive deeper.
What would you suggest to do differently next time?
Finish the script. When I was presenting, there was a point in which the script ran out and I had to wing it, which I did an okay job at, but a full script to go off of would have been very beneficial, to say the least.
