As future
teachers we know that teaching is not just stand in front of the students and
talk. Teaching is also an act or experience that has a formative effect on the
mind, character or physical ability of an individual. Our movements,
expressions and tone of voice make a class to be more entertaining but
sometimes the scenic fear prevents people to perform better. We have had the
opportunity to participate in a workshop two days to learn Corporal Expression,
and Techniques for public speaking.
The first day.
Before, the workshop start, I was nervous. Also, I was wondering what kind of activitities we are
going to do and who is going to be the instructor. However, each question had its answer while the workshop was developed. The objective of the workshop was to lose the fear and put aside the prejudices. We performed several activities that involved the expression of the body but I could say that I feel really impressed of myself in the activity where we read the answer at the question that the instrunstor has asked us. I noticed that almost everybody passed to the front and they were placed in the same place. Moreover, one of my classmates had the same name of the thing that I wrote
for the question who am I? I was
thinking what I can do to be a different star.
So, I decided to change the
position that everybody has taken before and I confess that I had no idea what
I did. Every expression came spontaneous, I forgot my nerves and I started
talking and I have changed my tone of voice according to the question. I felt very happy to show my classmates a part of
me that they did not know.
After the workshop, I can tell that each activity was significant and at
the end I had a compromise with myself and do not forget who I am and How I see
myself as a teacher.
This day was a little different we perfomed more actitivities than the previous day. During the workshop to tell the truth each exercise was interesting. It was fun to learn the breathing technique to get greater resistance when we speak in public. As well as the importance of pronounce and ending every word to avoid misunderstanding in the person who is receiving the message. Moreover, when we teach, we must know how to adjust the volume of our voice and every student listen perfectly what we say.
In brief, at the end of the workshop, I expected more real techniques. However, I learned not only some techniques for public speaking or Corporal expression but also, I learned to enjoy more with my classmates and show more affection for them. As well appreciate all that we have gotten through years of work.
