In this class, the teacher explained the elements involved in a storytelling such as entonation and body gestures. After that, we discussed about Myths and legends here in our country. we mentioned "la carreta chillona", "el padre sin cabeza", "la siguanaba" , "el cadejo" and so many more. Next, he showed  us  the video of the ressurection Mary. That was an example of storytelling in which lots of people confirmed have seen this woman called Mary. At the end,he told us to create groups of 5 and he assigned us a short story . we had to read it and create the sounds effects for the next class. the book that was assigned to my group is "The city mouse and the country mouse". I'm so excited to present this storytelling.

In this class, as soon as we arrived the teacher asked us to form the groups and  discussed which will be the play we will perfom at the end of the semester. In my team, two options were proposed "Canterville Ghost" and "Liselotte in May" personally  I liked both so whether we choose one or the other one  It'll be fine for me. However, we couldn't decide which one to play that is why the teacher allowed us to present our proposal next class. Later on, we studied some stylistic devices such as oxymoron,that  consists in putting  2 opposite terms in the same phrase in order to illustrate a rhetorical point or to reveal a paradox  for example "this is a terribly good movie" which means you really liked it. Another stylistic device that we studied was euphemism is a polite word or expression that is used to refer to things which people may find upsetting or embarrassing to talk about. for example my dog passed away last year  instead of saying my dog died last year. Finally, we worked in pair in some exercises he gave us to identify what was the stylistic device in each sentence.
