Hello everyone, my name is Ana Góngora and this
week has been my time to be the star.
At the beginning this was the role I most fear
of, due to the fact that I thought it was going to be as shameful as difficult
but then I realised it was not. When we first started to think about ideas for
the topic of “The dark side of text books” we thought that the Info graphic
could be OK but then... we run out of good ideas about how to do it (maybe
because we were a bit disconnect due to the fact that was the birthday of one
of our partners) so I was a little bit worried about what we were going to do.
In this moment of concern Maria suggested that it could be better to do a comic
and then, like in a film, Lucia and I said at the same time... WE COULD BE THE
CHARACTERS! And so we did, with the astonishing skill of Lucia at photography
and editing we spend the whole afternoon getting our comic ready.
It is important to take into account that we
had previously read all the information and this time it was not necessary to
do a speech (as normally stars do) I only needed to have clear ideas. Even
thought I am a really meticulous girl so I preferred to concrete a list of
advantages, disadvantages and alternatives of books.
The night before Monday I was really nervous
(as my colleagues when they were stars I supposed) so I started to talk with
the stars of other groups and sharing information because... Oh! I forget to
said this week Linda prepared us a really new activity. She only told us that
we were going to be in a museum! This is the reason why I previously said that
I hadn’t the obligation to prepare a speech. The rest of stars and I were
anxious because we had no idea about what Linda could ask us.
Monday arrived with more nervous and a big coffee
in the morning (to be as awake as possible). The class started and all the
stars take our site in thought the class near to our information (in my case
the comic). We couldn’t say anything if the “visitors” do not ask us. In my
case I supposed the comic was quite clear due to the fact that only a few
people asked me about what ThePowerPuffTeachers wanted to say with it. The bad
side of this activity is that I couldn’t enjoy the work of my colleagues
because I had to stay in my place.
As my final reflection I would like to say that
the star is not a bad or difficult role, you have to be conscious about the
importance of the role and have clear ideas about the topic but everyone can do
it. Especially this week we have display that the whole class can be incredible
and because of that Linda had congratulate us.
Here you can see our comic in English and Spanish.
