Second Part of the Workshop

The first thing we did in the first part of the workshop was to protect a balloon as if it was our lives. Eventualy, Giovanni started to pop out balloons and the ones whose balloons were already poped started to find other people's balloons to pop them too. Then all of us presented a story and a tongue twister. My story was about a bunny that helped a lady in order to get an award, but he did not get an award; so, if you are going to help someone, do it, but do it because you want to, not because you want to be awarded.
The second part of the workshop was useful for us because we realized that we did not make the mistakes we made in the first workshop, which was good. However, some of us still have problems while presenting, but at least we know our mistakes and we just have to work on them to get better.

Fisrt Part of the Workshop

The first thing we had to do was to present ourselves. Then, after that we had to think of something that represented us. I said I was relaxed and calm as the color blue. Then we worked in pairs and my partner had to control me by touching certain parts of my body (Back of the head, shoulders and back); then I had to control him. After that, we made different pairs and this time one of each pair had to make a sound with his or her mouth so that his or her partner could get to him by following the sound; then the other partner had to do the same. I got lost several times because I did not where the sound was coming from. Finally, we made different pairs again and we had to make signs in order to communicate with our respective partners; then we had to speak, but we had to get far from each other and by doing we had to raise our voices so that our partner could listen to us.
 The first part of the workshop was a good expirience for all of us, because we could realize all the mistakes we use to make when we  present or when we talk to a certain public. When you work with children you have to be very careful about how you speak to them, about the volume of your voice, the gestures you make, etc.

Myself

Hello there, my name is Kevin Stewart. I am 20 years old. I am studying languages at Don Bosco University. I like to play videogames, watch movies and listen to music. I also like to read, but I do not do it often. I really like English, and I would like to learn several languages besides English. When I was a kid I used to play videogames all the time, I think that is how I learned English. I decided to study teaching because I like languages, and I also would like to be an English teacher. Currently, I am taking the Teaching Practicum I course, I think that, for me, it might be the hardest subject of the major, besides Syntax, because I have never taught a class before, this is going to be the fisrt that I am going to be in a classroom as a teacher.
