Story telling

 ATALANTA STORY TELLING - personal experience.

If I were to describe in a couple of words the recording of this story telling I would say FUNNY and TIRING. It took us about 5 hours to shoot all the scenes, as we tried to physically characterize all the characters as well as the spot. We also filmed in different locations, where we thought it would be more appropriate for each event. Our group is made up of only girls, so we had to play the roles of men. It was fun to characterize ourselves as men, the bloopers when something didn't go as expected; in short, the face to face experience we had as colleagues working for the same goal: to get a good outcome in our project. 

Regarding the story of atalanta, I consider it to be interesting as well as a bit extensive and complex to perform; however, we knew how to choose the main points to show while maintaining the essence of the story. Performing the story made me go deeper into the message it conveys because even though it is an old story there are always features that are applicable to today's reality. For example: the value of women, the betrayal of the family, the selfishness that leads to death, etc. The messages I found when playing this story are really insightful and compelling. 

It was nice to interact with my classmates as in the old days of face-to-face modality. Being back on campus brought me good memories, especially now that I am a step away from finishing my major. It has definitely been a very memorable academic experience, very meaningful as it has been accompanied with a bit of fun. This is a beautiful subject as long as the educators know how to teach it. 

In conclusion, speaking from my experience and serving as a voice for all generations on the way, it is urgent that the major returns to its respective face-to-face modality, not only for the meaningful coexistence among students but also for the more enriching lessons that are taught on campus. 

Short story writing

 My experience in creating the short story.

 

Working in groups has never been a problem for me, on the contrary, I think that if we maintain good communication it is possible to obtain better outcomes. As it is said, two heads think better than one, and I personally do believe that to be true. 

My group for this work consisted of 5 girls. Regarding the communication between us, from the beginning we created a WhatsApp group where we  share ideas, websites that we found, articles, or any information that we think could be useful for us. In addition, when we had to make a decision as a group, we did Google Meet calls. We were randomly dividing up the work, which makes it somewhat fairer and more democratic. 

For the creation of the short story, we set up a Google shared document where we had the opportunity to write our own ideas so that our partners could give them a look. In fact, we worked on the whole story in this way, in the shared document. We wrote or improved ideas from our partners, all working at our own pace and time, but always respecting the time frame we were assigned. I think sometimes it was a bit complicated to match everyone's idea. However, the result was quite favorable and I have no complaints about the relationship we established as a group. 

I consider it so important to know how to work collectively, improving patience and tolerance when needed, since in life we encounter many situations where it is a must to work with others and we must be flexible to the other people's suggestions.
