First day of class

On July 21st we had our first class and  the teacher Orlando Gomez explainted to us what this subject was about and some activities that are planed for the rest of the semester. He also started telling us that when we are teacher it is impoortant to be sociable and not to be afraid of talking at public or do embarrasing things, specially if you are teahing to children.
To break up the ice in the first activity the teacher asked us to make groups of 4 or 5 people and  then to think about a movie´s scene to drmatize it in front of the class. He also gave different emotions to each group like embarrasing, sadness, fear and love and  asked us to make up a story related with the feeling he has just given us and to prepare a dramatization of the story.


For the movie´s scene my group chose an scene from Shrek and the other groups chose scenes from white chicks,The walking dead and Titanic.
