I had the opportunity
to see the Mini-saga panel on the student conference of the English department.
It was such a really amazing, funny and also enriching experience. Their task
was to prepare a short anecdote, problem or experience and transmitted to the
audience in a unique way. The students that were participating as panelist were Kathyria Sánchez, Paula Mysonet, Ashley Dalmau, Maricel Vargas, Manueli Cabrera and Brian Aldiss. I found so amazing how they all find inspirations in
daily situations, problems or funny things. The topics presented in the panel
were themes very strong and sentimental. For example one of the students delighted
us with a personal situation of her mother. Other student told us about the difficulties
that woman have to face when it comes to find the perfect match. It was one of
my favorite performance and mini saga; therefore I will copy it here:
Expectations
By. Ashley Dalmau
By. Ashley Dalmau
Some are intelligent, some are dumb.
Some have manners, others don’t.
Some are loving, others rude.
Some are gentle, others sour.
Some are handsome, tall, strong, energetic…. Others
careless,
Small, fat, lazy.
Some love the family, others love their
PlayStation.
Expectations?
Challenge evaluation…
The cruel reality of finding a husband.
One of the things that
I think was the most difficult task was to resume the problem or theme in those
short lines. Nevertheless one of
the students presents a mini-saga really interesting about the importance of
saving lives. She presented really well the compromise that our present and
future generations have with the nature and ecosystems. I think that the real
meaning of her mini saga was to inspire people to do their best and always help
others. The most amazing thing about this panel is that the mini-saga groups
were students of pre-basic English and they realized an excellent job. I think that everyone have the capacity to do a well job like they did, the only thing that you need to do is practice and have determination. Activities like this are the one that encourage the students to do it better and compite for the excellence.
I liked too the mini saga of Expectations by Ashley Dalmau. It was my favorite too. I also think that mini saga is a difficult task and has a very hard creative process. This panel was one of my favorites too and they did a amazing job. You have summarized very well the conference. Great reflection!
