My First In-Class Write About My Last Vacation

Critical Thinking

When I was writing my paragraph on, “Mi Ultima Vacaion,” which translate to “my last vacation,” I wrote about my cruise to Mexico I took during Spring Break. Throughout the paragraph, I wrote about the details of my cruise, who I went with, where I went, what I bought, and what excursions I participated in. While I was writing my paragraph I realized that I didn’t remember or haven’t learned some of the vocab I needed to be able to complete my writing. Words such as “cruise” and “pool” were crucial to my writing, so I was able to utilize my problem solving skills by grabbing a Spanish to English dictionary and searching for the vocabulary I required. If I couldn’t find it or was confused about which word to use (as there is usually more than one) I would ask the teacher. I took my critical thinking skills and I put it to use and solved a problem.
