Reflection:
During this project I had a lot of fun. I would say my favorite part was learning about Oktoberfest because it really interesting and fascinating. In this project I learned a ton like how they celebrated lots of the same holidays as us but just but there own little twist on some of them. I hope your interested in learning more about German holidays and here is a tip don't give up because it will probably get a little frustrating.

Hi Madi I loved your video but also have some quality boosters on how to make it better. First of all, I just wanted to say this was a really well done project. One thing I think who could improve is in your KWHLAQ, make sure you have punctuation and maybe check that over. Second, I think you may have put in some unnecessary holidays and left out some. I think maybe you could have added thanksgiving. I don't know if they celebrate it but it is a big USA holiday. I don't think you had to add Good Friday in there. It didn't seem to big there and it's not the most celebrated holiday in the USA. One good thing I saw in this was how you added oktoberfest. That is a holiday I have not heard of. I liked this project a lot. Good job you should be proud of yourself!

Madi I think you did a great job on this project! I think it was great how you compared and contrasted the holidays here and also in Germany. One quality booster would be to be careful with the computer while you are recording. You were describing a holiday, but then the sound started to become choppy. Other than that, I really enjoyed your project! I have never learned about Germany, but these holiday traditions are really interesting! Great job!

I liked your video because there was many things that you included about the german holidays. I have a quality booster and it is maybe you could put 4 or 5 more sentences about the holiday because I didn't fully feel like I was in Germany. But other than that I think you did very well. I think you made the right choice on a google presentation because I did not see how it would be a website.
