Hello, my name is Rebeca
Cascales Ribera and this week my role has been the STAR! The star is the role
in charge of representing the weekly's job to the other's classmates.
This week the role has been
very interesting and a bit different, we had to prepare a Fakebook profile with
each leadership style and show the classmates what we've learnt in a debate
format but today, we have to choose a number which will tell us what our role
in this activity is going to be, and in my case I have got the 'mediator' one.
The Fakebook profiles that
my group had made was the following:
- Rebeca Cascales Ribera - Authoritarian Leader:http://www.classtools.net/FB/1000-bbRk3e
- Marina Crevillén Fernandez - Transformational: http://www.classtools.net/FB/1162-jHhVAb
- Silvia García Martínez - Transactional:http://www.classtools.net/FB/1304-xN8ffg
- María García Zamora - Participative Leader: http://www.classtools.net/FB/1098-H4hBQ2
Well, I had to prepare four
general questions that include lot of knowledge of this topic with my group and
then prepare the debate that our other stars had to defend. When the stars were
with their groups preparing the information, ten minutes before starting I have
told them the questions that we're going to ask them.
The questions that we've
written and we've asked for are the following:
1. What do you think that
are the most crucial people for developing new projects and profound changes?
2. If there is a problem
between teachers. Who are the person in charge of solving this? And, how would
you do it?
3. What would you do as a
Transactional/ Transformational/ Authoritarian/ Participative leader different
from the others? What would you provide to the school?
4. From your point of view,
what do you think is the worst thing of your colleagues?
Then, the debate has
started, I had to control it, each group had two minutes to answer the question
and as there were two people by group, it was one minute for each member. I
asked the questions and they answer with order, respecting the turn when the
others were speaking.
Later, when they have finished the debate, our teacher Linda has reflected a bit of what they had done it well and bad, what they can improve, etc.
Now, I'm going to speak
about my experience as a mediator, I have never acted as a mediator, so it was
something new to me. When I was asking the first question and controlling the
time while the stars were answering I have realised that doing a debate is
something difficult but controlling it too. I had to stop people when the time
was off, I must stop them when they we're answering but this is something that
I must do and I didn't do it. I think that I can do it better, but for being
the first time it's not bad.
As a mediator, in my opinion
I have to say that the stars have done it very well, there were lots of
nervous, difficulties, bad organisations
but we learn from our own mistakes, so for people who have done it today,
I have to say that they can improve and learn from today. So, I have to mark
what is the best people who have defend it their ideals, and I think that Clara
(KCKO) and Ana Isabel (Platypus), the transformational defenders, deserve this
reward. Their way of expressing and caught their classmates attention has been
crucial in their speech, so as they have taken my attention and I really
"LOVE" their speaking parts, I'm going to say that they have win.
On the other side, as a
group (Power Teachers), we've decided that it we have to chose a leader, we
would chose a Participative Leader, because Gracia (Bussy Bees) and Noelia
(Meerkats) have done it very well and they have explained correctly, showing
that they want to improve for our welfare.
Summarising, being the star this week has been very interesting, dynamic and entertaining. I would like to repeat this activity!
So bloggers, it has been a pleasure writting for you and I hope you have really enjoyed.
Rebeca:)
