Fifth day - Friday, August 30th, 2019

This Friday, we talked about some important issues. First, we discussed in our group what play we were going to perform. In the end, we did not arrive to an agreement; nevertheless, two options were considered. Number one: "The Canterville Ghost", and number two: "Lancelina" or something like that. I think the latter will be the winner. Second, we reviewed the stylistic devices, and learned some more. Third, an exercice was completed. Well, finally, there is a homework for next week. It is about making a timeline  related to this  performance.

Fourth day - Tuesday, August 27th, 2019

This day, we continued talking about some basic elements concerning literature. To begin with the class, we read two quotes referring to the importance of this art in human's lives. Then, we read a sum about the four main literature genres, which are: poetry drama, narrative and nonfiction prose. After that, we started studying "stylistic devices". Finally, we were asked to look for a play proposal for next Friday, what performance are we going to play? I'm expectant...

Third day- No classes!!

We did not have classes today!

Day Two- Tuesday, August 20th, 2019

This day we studied the importance of literature        

       Today, we continued talking about some aspects of literature. Before the teacher arrived, he asked us to read the handout's introduction concerning literature. There, we found what literature was, the importance of studying this field and how to create an animal character in fiction. At his arrival, we formed groups of six members and answered five questions. First, we did it individually and then, some classmates gave their opinions to the whole class. After the student's intervention, the teacher  explained in detail the relation and difference between History and Literature, how the latter is important to a society's culture with some examples like the "Popol-Vuh", the Bible and "Tales of Clay". To finish the class, we listened an audio about some tips on how to modulate our voice while telling a story, so to be successful and not to bother the audience.

                                                               

Day one - Friday, August 16th, 2019

Friday, August 16th, 2019

Today was our first day of classes after one and half week without an assigned classroom.

       This day, we did some important activities to get us ready in one of our last subjects in the major: literature. First, we had a brief introduction to the course. The professor, whose name is Orlando Gómez, asked us to make groups of six members and discuss some questions he wrote in the whiteboard. In the end, I think I expanded my concept about literature, since according to what Mr. Gómez explained: literature is anything evoking our feelings (this is for another paragraph). Second, we read the introductory handout. After five years in the university, it was not surprising; that means we are going to be stressed as usual. Moreover, I hated the idea of performing a role-play in front of a "big audience" (I'm exaggerating) in a kind of festival in the upcoming months. Then, we read the percentages for the next exams and some classroom rules. Finally, the professor assigned us to create a blog in which we are going to write about what we have done in every single class (a journal). So here I am; let’s get this done.
