Week 7

Our university started a new program called "Semana i" in which we have to focus in specific activities or projects so this week I won't post an post as usual.

Week 6

I really like this week because as you well know we only had two sessions.

On the first session we work in our project. The mean idea is how could be if Wuthering Heights happen in 2015.  We created for every character a twitter account so that way all can interact between them.

I did Hindley Earnshaw's twitter, so I had to think like him to personalize it. I started with the eassier that was the location and "Hindley" picture, them with some hobbies as gamble and drink.

So I mention we did't had Wednesday class, but on Thursday we presented our project and of course saw the others I really like the poem because you really have to think and fell as the character.

Week 5

This week the topic of the class was "honesty". We started our week with a movie (that was awesome because nobody want to work on Monday) about honesty, the Tom Cruise's movie "Jerry Maguire" is a moral movie that give you a clear messege about the consequences positives and negatives of be honest. It was the first time that I sew it and I really enjoy the movie.

We also have to read about the honesty and the cost of it, I REALLY like the lectures because sometimes I fell that the people in general think that is necessary be corrupt to have success, and with the lectures we can prove that isn't true.

The Thursday we did a task about different countries where speak English in teams so Israel, Fernando and me try to choose the less known countries as Mauritius or Zumbabwe to learn about them.

Week 4

The last weekend I had a team reunion to did our interview asking for a job. I really like the final result of our work. This Monday we watched and evaluate the videos some of them were really great but I don't like have to evaluate them because is hard to do it with some that you know that is how speak.

This week we also did an activity about Emily Bronte, as usual I did with Rocio. I always try to do it the weekends because I felt that I can do it better and if I already have it in class, go to rest after the work.

In the Emyly's activity I learned  that Emily Bronte was the writer of Wuthering Heights.  She born on 30 July, 1818 in Yorkshire, England. She was the daughter of Maria Branwell and Patrick Bronte and had five siblings. She had a sad childhood because her mom died when  she was three years old. Emily was a quiet girl probably because of she was influenced by her father and also by religion. Two of her sisters also wrote. Sadly Emily died on 19 December 1848 because of tuberculosis.

We had the task to read the book ( I already had it because of other class, so lucky) and in groups present a free assignment about the book of course.
