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.

A MATTER OF CHANCE QUIZ

On October 18th, we took our quiz to test how much we understood the book. The quiz contained 20 specific questions about the book. It's easy since I read it twice and I REALLY ENJOYED READING A MATTER OF CHANCE. Besides, these questions were taken from the three questionnaires we answered in the previous classes.  I hope to get a good grade, I'll tell you later how it goes.

CLASS SUSPENDED.

I was supposed to have our exam today, but unfortunately it couldn't happen because the building was closed at 5pm due to the arrangements of the classrooms (UES Admission Exam). It was not enough time to answer the whole exam. However, teacher Orlando assigned us a task; we had to watch a video about the types of fictions and answer four questions. Exam will be postponed until next class.

Questions to answer.
