LAST CLASS

On November 22nd, we had our last class, but we have still some tasks to complete. We were supposed to watch "Querencias" and then pretend to be the actors. We asked each other questions about the preparation of the play and so on while we ate some cookies the teacher brought for us. It was a nice activity. 

I really liked this subject not only because I learned a ton of information, but also because the teacher was so kind and nice with us. I hope to go to the theater more often. It was a pleasure.

November 19th

In this literature class, we learned new things about theater in El Salvador. At the very beginning of the class we discussed our experiences about the play we went to see. In my case, I was discussing with my classmate Daniel. I told him that I really loved my experience in the University theater, It really impressed me because of everything I saw there.
After talking with Daniel, the teacher played some videos about the history of theater in El Salvador, there were like interesting videos about how theater was and is right now. Finally, we discussed with the same person how theater has changed in the last decades. I personally thing we have moved on, but we need more opportunities to study theater since there is not currently.
I'm kind of happy and sad at the same time because these are the last days at the university. I will probably miss my friends, I hope not.

Getting ready for class.

November 15th

We didn't have Literature class due to the second admission exam. Workers had to arrange all the classrooms, so the building was closed in the afternoon. I took advantage of that by finishing my theater report.

November 12th

In this class, we took The Elephant Man exam. As the teacher mentioned before start the exam, it was kind of a gift. I read twice the book and I also watched the movie. The movie is two hours long and it is quite interesting since it shows the whole history in detail. Anyways, I hope to get a great grade in this exam. Just a couple of weeks and we finish the semester. I'm kinda excited because of that.

November 8th

On November 8th we didn't have literature class due to the fact that teacher gave us the opportunity to study for another midterm and he also told us to take advantage of the time and keep working on our tasks. So, that day I went to the theater to watch a play called "mamá" performed by Isabel Estrada. It was my first time watching a play and believe me I LOVE IT; I don't know why but I'll try to keep going to the theater. Isabel Estrada got graduated from Modern Languages as well and she is amazing.

November 5th

On November 5th we didn't have literature class since teacher had to evaluate the missing activities to some students. I read the book "The Elephant Man" in more or less one hour. It was like an interesting and painful history at the same time because it actually happened in real life this history. The so-called Elephant Man had a tough life since death. I'm ready for the exam. I'll probably read it again not to miss details. Tell you later how it goes. 

November 1st

We didn't have literature class due to the fact that it was a compensatory day, so the university was closed. 

Teacher Orlando uploaded the book we have to read called "the elephant man".

 LET'S READ. 

The Elephant Man by Tim Vicary

October 29th

In this class teacher explained us the evaluations system.
We actually have our evaluation system in our syllabus, nevertheless teacher decided to modify a little bit some activities. It's prettry interesting because we have to go to the theater to watch a play and give like a report of that. Besides, we have to create a realistic situation in our groups, perform it and record it to send it to the teacher and we also have to read a final book called "the elephant man" and we are going to take an exam of this book.
We spent the whole class talking about this. I'm really happy since I'm about to finish the university, just one month left.

In this Literature class, we reviewed the last class that was about Fiction and Nonfiction. Teacher explained us in a deeper way the differences between each. In fiction, we narrate things that are no real, things that are impossible. On the other hand, in nonfiction people narrate things that HAPPENED, real facts.

Then, we had to write a story about our life, or to talk about a bad thing that happened in our life. I wrote about a tough decision. It was when I was about to finish high school and I was sure what to study and where. I took my time because I was suspicious that would be evaluated, so I couldn't finish it in the class. Teacher told me to finish it at home and give it to him next class.
Writing about that made me remember those amazing times.

October 22nd

In this day, teacher taught about Non-fiction and realistic fiction (pretty much how they are different). At the beginning of the class, teacher told us to look for a partner and work in pairs since we were going to do an interesting activity. We had to create a paragraph without using the letter "A". I worked with Kevin, at first It was tough because letter "A" is used in almost every word. Nevertheless, we created the paragraph and I read it out loud to the whole class. After finishing this exercise, the teacher asked us some questions to discuss with our partner, these questions were about different topics such as: talk about your favorite band or artist.

Finally, the teacher started teaching us about non-fiction and realistic fiction. It's quite easy since non-fiction basically narrates the thing exactly like they happened. On the other hand, realistic fiction can be considered as an action that happened, but with some variations.
