PROPOSAL

Reflection before the activity:

I am really nervous about this activity. I have never tried it before, so it is for sure going to be a new experience. When I was younger I felt I was the worst at rope jumping, and was never able to jump in a rope when it was moving, so jumping into two ropes was going to be a whole new challenge. Not only that, but in this activity we will also learn to do some tricks, and all of this in French. So, I have no idea how this is going to go. However, even though I am really nervous and feel like I am going to fail at htis activity, I am eager to try something new, and cross it of from things to do in life. 

Reflection during the activity:

Today has been the hottest day at Paris, so it was the worst day to go to a double dutch class because the class was held in the middle of the basketball court outside. Some people of the group couldn't or didn't want to take part in the activity and thehy waited under the shadows of a tree while the rest of us burned to death. Regardless of the weather, I had a wonderful experience. I had never tried anything similar, and participating in it with my friends was very fun. I develop new skills in trying tricks like doing two entire revolutions with the rope in just one jump, jumping with the rope in diagonal, and giving a 180 degrees turn while doing only one jump. I was very fun
