These are compact graphs of articles and journals that have helped me understand more about the Spanish Language.
Annotated Bibliographies
Source/ Bibliography:
Spanish Language. Funk & Wagnalls New World Encyclopedia [serial online].2014;:1p. 1. Available from: Funk & Wagnalls New World Encyclopedia,Ipswich, MA. Accessed September 10, 2014.
Summary/Annotation:
The Spanish language is a Romantic language, just like French, Portuguese, and Italian. “In its grammatical structure Spanish is generally in conformity with French, Italian, Portuguese, and the other Romance languages.” (Funk & Wagnalls New World Encyclopedia 1) Spanish words derived from Vulgar Latin, that was spoken by Romas. Today it is mainly spoken in Spain and Latin America.
Potential Quotes:
“The four conjugations of Latin have been reduced in Spanish to three; furthermore, regular verbs of the Spanish second and third conjugations differ in only four forms, namely, the present infinitive, the first and second persons plural of the present indicative mood, and the second person plural of the imperative mood.” (Funk & Wagnalls New World Encyclopedia 1)
Assessment:
This resource came from a website called Galileo. It contains very reliable information because many school system use this as a reference for student to look up works.
Reflection:
I can use this reference because it tells where the Spanish language derived from. It also can help me to understand words, and their meaning. This source was highly relevant in helping me to soon help others understand the meaning of certain words in languages
Source/ Bibliography:
"The Enlightenment Surfaces in Nineteenth-Century Mexico: Scientific Thinking Attempts to Deliver Order and Progress." “by Corr, John. N.p., n.d. Web. 23 Jan. 2015.
Annotation:
This journal/article talks about the nineteenth-century enlightenment period help Mexico, a spanish speaking country,helped to establish order and progress. A man gave the speech of independence to Mexico in Guanajuato. The scientists of Mexico applied their thinking to problems in government and society. Some people opposed the use of reason, logic, and science to reform the government and society.
Potential Quotes:
“Mexican thinkers, shadowing European thinking, to extend the influence of science and reason in national life, a process dating from the post-independence period and even further back, into colonial times.” (John Corr)
“Their opposition gave rise to a sophisticated debate, current with European thinking, over the philosophical implications of the use of science and reason.” (John Corr)
“The ENP formed a cadre of leaders, called "científicos", who with like-minded allies, would try to apply scientific thinking to the problematics of governance and society.” (John Corr)
Assessment:
This source would be credible because I got it off the Galileo website. I searched up journals and that is what came up. This website might be bias, but the journal has an author and the website is operated by Cengage Learning in History of Science , Vol. 52, No. 1.
Reflection:
I will potentially use this as a reflection on how hispanic scientists, resolved their problems using reason, and science. Their speech of independence was given in Guanajuato, Mexico. This article/journal shows how hispanics solved their ways through a corrupt government, and its important to remember history so we do not repeat it. Education is the way to solve problems, not just with armed force.
