For this project, I wanted to relate my Chinese study more directly to my career goals and major. This overall goal was consistent with my stated goals for the course. Accordingly, for this project I undertook a fairly complex description of the human body. This required me to learn many new nouns and verbs. I confined my project to two systems of the body, the digestive and circulatory systems. I described the function of the major organs in each system including the heart, lungs, blood, intestines, and stomach. The project was very interesting, and I wish I could have spent more of the semester on it or integrated it into the practice sessions somehow.
By relating Chinese to my major, it made the subject more relevant to my studies and invigorated my motivation to learn Chinese. I chose to include this project in the portfolio despite the fact that it was my lowest scoring project, simply because it is the one that I devoted the most time and effort to, and it is the one that I take the most pride in.
Savannah's main corrections to this writing project were word order. The descriptions of exactly which organ performed which function of secreted what made the grammar very complex and require the use of many commas and other grammatical particles that I didn't know at the time.
