Let's define some words!

Hi everyone! I'm Anthea, the translator! As you already know, my role consists on looking for five words related to the weekly activity and defining them. Thus week it has been a bit more difficult, because we have continued working on the last project, which is about the Basics of the Spanish Educational System, and some important words had been defined before. Fortunately, at the end I have been able to find some other words, which are:

Manager

The manager is the person who trains, guides, controls, someone for something: a sport, a contest... but, in this case, this person is in charge of training participants of a game that have to memorize a series of questions, and, then, being able to answer them correctly and in a short time after they had been asked.

Supporter
The supporter is someone who encourages others to do something as well as they can, mainly when there are two or more teams or groups competing for the same thing. They do it by cheering them up, tellying them that they can do it or they will achieve whatever they want. In short, they are people who tell others phrases for encouraging them to continue.

Did you miss me? I am the BOSS!

Hi bloggers! I am Silvia García and I am here a week more, this time since the role of the facilitator.

This week has been a bit weird because we have not had an activity in group as the others weeks. This time we have organized and selected the questions for the game about the LOMCE, specifically about the topics 1 and 4 (we had to choose ten questions for each topic between all the questions that the groups have done) and we have decided the strategy that we are going to use this week in order to learn these questions, above all in the case of the stars.

For these activities the roles have been:

FACILITATOR: Silvia García martínez

JOURNALIST: Rebeca cascales ribera

ANALYST: maría garcía zamora

TRANSLATOR: anthea clemente sharp

CURATOR-FARMER: alba García subiela

STAR: marina crevillén Fernández

On Thursday 16^th we did the selection of the questions. Our group was divided in two and one part had to work with the group of Keep Kalm and Keep Organized in the Topic 1 and the other part with the group of Busy Bees in the Topic 4. For this activity I tried that each one of us worked with the topic that we had worked more. After, each part of the group organized the questions’ selection in a different way, depending on the other group too.

On Monday 20^th we organized the strategy that we are going to follow this week. In this case I have not divided the work because the star of this week (Marina Crevillén) has been the coach of our next stars and, although we have helped them and given our opinion, she has decided the steps to follow.

I must say that one of the aspects that I have enjoyed more this week has been working with the other groups because we have learnt about how they work and if we can change something in order to improve. In addition, to work with other people has been an interesting experience too, because, although I love my group, it is always good to realise that you can work with other people too in a good way if it is necessary. For instance, when we worked with the Busy Bees in the selection of the questions about the Topic 4, I felt very glad when we could organize the work in a fast and efficient way, although we never had worked together before.

HELLO, THE STAR IS HERE!!!!!!! :D

Hello everybody, this week I have been the Star, but no the normal star if not an special star, since during this week I have been and am, the personal trainer of the two stars of the next week, Alba y Anthea.

My function this week has been and is to prepare the stars and the other members of my group for the game which will be the next week. To do this I have designed a plan to train them.

My plan have been and is the following, to ask each member of my group randomly three questions per person every day of the week. Each day of this week I have asked and ask one topic, which one I told to my partners the day before. The objective of my plan is that all the members of my group know about the questions, and coat the stars, since only they are going to play. I have decided to do this to provide maximum convenience to the stars, since if they study during the week, they only will have to review the questions at the weekend.

I have to say that this week I have enjoyed so much being a personal trainer since I have been like a teacher asking to the students the lesson every day.
