This document summarizes Alexia de Santiago's final projects for the 5th semester. It discusses three projects: an autobiography project where students shared their lives with classmates, a project on accessibility for disabled people which made Alexia nervous to speak in public, and a play adaptation of Cinderella that the class put together in only 5 days but performed well. Alexia enjoyed getting over her shyness and learning through hands-on projects rather than just textbook work. She is grateful for the semester and teacher.
3. With this project we had the
opportunity to talk to all of our
classmates about our life. It was
great, because I love my life so
much that I would like to share it to
the whole world. .
I also had the chance to know a
little about the people with
whom I spend a big part of the
day, so I think it is important for
us, to have the security to do it.
5. This 2nd period project was a little bit
more difficult than the first one, I usually
get really nervous when speaking in front
of a camera or in front of much people, I
am really shy when doing that, and that is
what happened during this interview.
I went to other places and literally no one
could speak english, I was also really
surprised when I realized that not many
places have accesibilities for disabled
people, and in case that there is a facility
for them, people usually don't respect it,
like for example, people park in special
parking lots for disabled people.
6. Another part of the project
was to make a spot about
saving the environment.
The first spot was about
taking care of the water.
It was really funny.
9. The third project was to make
a play, I personally had a lot of
fun, I liked a lot the play we
performed. It happened the
same thing that happened last
period to me, I could easily act
and talk with a lot of self-
confidence, something I
usually find almost impossible.
10. I don’t like to be standing in front
of a lot of people because I get
nervous but with this projects I am
learning how to do it, and in the
play I wasn’t nervous and I loved to
realize that I am finally getting over
that kind of things.
11. It was not that easy
because we left everything
for the last week so we only
had like 5 days to prepare
everything and to make the
rehearsals and get the
costumes, but I think in the
end everybody had a good
attitude and we performed
a good play.
Rehearsals
12. I REALLY enjoyed the other
plays, I think they all did a
great job.
14. In conclusion I really enjoyed this semester, I think
we can learn more practicing and not only
answering pages on a book.
I know I always complained about having to upload
everything to the blog, and youtube and that
things, but that´s because I am not an expert doing
that, and I am also a little bit lazy :) but I learned
how to do it.
I also realized sometimes you have to have to get
used to the way your teacher works, and you have
to adapt to it.
I love my teacher :)
