Workshop Part 1.

Workshop Part One.

Hello people, today I will share with you my experience in the first part of the workshop that my classmates and I have had with our teacher Giseelt and teacher Geovanny, he is a specialist in art and culture. He started he told us to take off our shoes to feel more comfortable and leave the stress aside. Then, we continue by introducing ourselves and doing some activities to project our voice, to be more loud with our voice because in the way we can have the attention of our students. 

We learned that we must rely on ourselves. We must do things no matter what other people will say, we must be authentic. And also learn to make mistakes because of those mistakes you learn even more not to repeat the same. Also, we must have good communication with children. And knowing how project ourselves in the correct way  when we are in front of our students because our movements are very important.

In conclucion, I really appreciate the opportunity to share with my classmate and to do some activities that were different for me. For example: we make one activity the we had to guide our classmate and then we make an specific sound so, our classmate could follow us. That was amazing because in the way we learn that is not easy to guide or follow something or someone. And it is important that people feel trust in us.

Workshop Part 2.

Workshop Part Two.

Hi everybody, I will share the second part of the workshop. That was a different experience from the first one. At the beginning, we started by inflating a balloon. The balloon was going to be our life and we had to take care of it because their are some situations that can stop or burst our life.

We develop an activity in which we share some tongue twisters and stories with our classmates. We really enjoyed the activity that we make with teacher Geovanny because he helped us to project our voice when speaking in front of others.

Also, we make an activity in which we notice the importance of communicate with others. That we have to project our voice in front of the students because if we do not do it, they are going to understand what we are talking about. it is importat to talk face to face because in the way we will have connection with the other. 

The best part of the workshop was when we take some time for us. The teacher told us that we had to take our time do feel good. We can an activity in which we take turns with our classmates to make a massage. My classmates and I felt comfortable with the activity.

To finish, the two parts of the workshop were very interesting, we learn so many things. Different activities in which we had the opportunity to share and to communicate with our classmates.
