Body Expressions.
Person in charge: Giovany Alvarado
We had our first workshop, which was really helpful in order for us to be more secure and to learn how to control our nerves when being infront of children. We did different activities and dynamics and helped us a lot in order to know our weaknesses and strength, we had to pass infront of everybody and present ourselves in a different way, we had to answer some questions and think of any animal, object or any other thing that we consider ourselves similar to that, for example the sun because we like to shine others and iluminate other's path. In my case I said that I was similar to a "cat", because sometimes I'm not that social or I'm very picky with the people I sourround. This dynamic really helps us because we had to pass infront of others and he wanted to see our expressions and body movements.
The feedback provided by him was very constructive, because we have to be aware of the mistakes that we made when being infront of many people and control our nerves. The other activity we did was excellent as well because we had to leave that our partners guide us through the space with our eyes closed, the other person who was guiding us had to make sure that we did not trip on with the rest of the class. I really think that the activity was great because we will be in charged of many children and we have to trust them and we also have to trust ourselves because we will be guiding others.The last activity we did consisted in talking with the person infront of us, we had to make a conversation and then he asked us to go backwards and separate from the other person, we had to keep the conversation going, concentrate and pay attention to what our partner was telling us, that was good because in a classroom there will be many students making lots of noise and we have to learn to recognize their voices and know when someone said something.
At the end we made a circle and discussed what we learned during the workshop, what we liked and what we did not like, overall I consider that this kind of activities should be implemented for people that will start working with children, teenagers or that will teach in the future.
I remember that I was wondering how the workshop would be. In my opinion, we learned many significant things that day. The fact that each activity had a reason behind made it interesting. The tips and recommendations were helpful.
