After writing my observation analysis on the classes I attended at the ELI, I was definitely ready for our first workshop. Stephanie and I completed our first workshop November 12 at 12PM at the ELI. We had about 10 students who joined us that afternoon. We first explained who we were and what we wanted to gain out of these workshops. They all seemed pretty intrigued and were excited to start.
To begin, we played an ice-breaker game to get to know each other better and Stephanie wrote on the board, "1. Name, 2. Where you are from, and 3. Something interesting about you" so the students could refer back to the questions if they forgot. We found out that one student was from Saudi Arabia, one from India, one from Venezuela, and the rest were from South Korea. After the game, we provided the students with various types of broadcasting roles through video clips and asked the students what they thought was similar or different from their country. To my surprise, much of the broadcasting roles were very similar to those of the students. This made it a lot easier when Stephanie and I went through the characteristics of each role.
Towards the end of the workshop, Stephanie and I asked the students to pick their role for the upcoming script. After that, we asked the students to bring back an article or two of current events that they would like to focus on for their script for the second workshop. All in all, I believe the first workshop went smoothly and I am very excited for the next workshop, this Friday, November 19.
