In communities, discuss the observations you received and answer the following questions in your notebook.
What was the utility of making a handbook of words or phrases that give identity to your school, community, or family?
- Identifico el propósito del manual: reunir palabras y frases propias de mi entorno.
- Reconozco que esas palabras funcionan como marcadores de identidad (saludos, apodos cariñosos, dichos, nombres de lugares).
- Concluyo que el manual sirve para conservar y transmitir la lengua local, fortalecer el sentido de pertenencia y facilitar que otros conozcan mi cultura.
Respuesta orientativa: Making the handbook was useful because it helped us collect and preserve words and phrases that identify our school, community, and family. It also strengthened our sense of belonging and allowed us to share our local language with others.
What suggestions did you receive when you presented your Identity Handbook?
- Recuerdo la presentación del manual ante el grupo o la comunidad.
- Anoto las observaciones recibidas: agregar más expresiones, incluir traducciones, mejorar la organización, añadir ilustraciones o audios.
- Clasifico las sugerencias en las que puedo aplicar de inmediato y las que requieren más tiempo.
Respuesta orientativa: My classmates and teacher suggested adding more local expressions, including their meaning or translation, organizing the words by topics, and adding drawings or recordings. They also recommended presenting it to family members to confirm the words are correct.
What would you improve in this project, and how will it be useful to build your identity through language?
- Identifico aspectos mejorables: la selección de palabras, la presentación, la participación de la comunidad.
- Propongo acciones concretas: entrevistar a más personas, grabar la pronunciación, incluir narraciones breves.
- Explico el beneficio: usar la lengua propia reafirma quién soy y de dónde vengo.
Respuesta orientativa: I would improve the project by interviewing more community members and recording the pronunciation of each phrase. This will help me build my identity because speaking and writing my own language connects me with my roots and with the people around me.
