15th Learning Journal

 In the last tuesday, the third and last term began.

In the first lesson, on Wednesday, we wrote an article, we had to chose between two topics, I chose the first one : " Is advertising necessary in our society?Is counter-advertisement legal? Is it useful? Some people believe that counter-advertising is a key contribution to raise awareness. Others claim that it contributes to tarnish public spaces and the media. What are your views on the subject?".

I just couldn't concentrate on this task, it seemed that I just wasn't able to write some few words. I mean, the task didn't seem to very hard, quite the opposite, but I just couldn't. I have only written the introduction, and I have to finish the text to deliver it in the next class.

The teacher told us that on the next wednesday, we will watch an adaptation of " Macbeth" by Avalon Theatre Company. So, to learn more about Shakespeare ( the author of Macbeth ) and the play " Macbeth", on Friday, while some students talked about Shakespeare, amog other things, Pedro and I had to play the 1st act of Macbeth. Pedro played "Macbeth" and I played three witches. It was quite difficult for me to act in front of the all class, and I think it showed. At some parts, I just couldn't stop laughing because I was too nervous, and I didn't read expressivily. But like the teacher usually says : " We aren't born actors."
