Stephen Colbert and Tonga
Stephen Colert is a fake news anchor who has written books, participated in marches on Washington, and has a huge college following. He's primarily a comedian, and secondly a tongue-in-cheek conservative commentator. He recently had a district representative from Utah who has the largest number of Tongans in her district. This is a clip from the joke-interview.
Final Project Conversation.
For the final project we were supposed to have a conversation. I chose a school setting for the conversation. Half of my project are the flash cards that I put on the website below. In regards to the other half, the conversation, I hope that I balanced taking risks and experimenting with the language with being grammatically correct. Malo 'aupito.

Project layout explanation
For the projects for the rest of the semester I've chosen to do them in two formats. The first will be posts on this website, much in the same manner that other students have done with their printed out Powerpoint presentations. The second part is using a website called Quizlet. On this website I've made flashcards with images, focusing around the vocabulary we've learned. But the most interesting, and educational aspects are the games and tests you can take on the this website as well.
It's my hope that using both of these methods I'll be able to have a more well-rounded study approach, and also that the work I've put into both formats will be reflected in my grade.
