STAR Role

Ey dear bloggers how are you?

I’m going to talk about what we did last week. Last Monday we were not supposed to have anything prepare for class, but every class with Linda is a surprise and so it was. When Linda arrived she asked the stars of each group to come out of the class with her and the rest of the people had to stay inside the class. For our surprise, Linda explained us an interesting activity that our group and us had to develop but it was a little bit special since the stars had a special role.

The activity consisted in creating a broad school. Easy, right? But it wasn’t because the stars had a special role. She divided the groups into three types of leaders: directive, less care and democratic. We had to play the role of the less care and I have to say that for me it was very difficult because I wasn’t supposed to do nothing and I am always talking, giving ideas, I am always trying to be in charge of my group. It was so difficult for me that even sometimes when we were doing the activity I said things but suddenly I realized that I must be quiet.

Once we knew what we had to do we came back to class and we explained to the rest of the group what we had to do. We weren’t talking at all and our classmates asked us why we didn’t say anything at the beginning but then they focus on what they had to do and they didn’t care about us.

When the activity was finished someone different from the stars had to present the broad school and Andrea was the lucky one.

Our broader school was like that: It was a public and bilingual school called “Cristobal Colón”. The school board will be composed by teachers, the director, the secretary, the school supervisor, parents and students. The teaching team will be formed by twenty-two teachers plus a psychologist and a pedagogist. The maintenance team will be composed by two caretaker and three cleaners. There will be different departments, one for languages, maths, science, music and arts, and finally one for P.E. The scholar schedule will be from nine in the morning to two in the afternoon. Our school will have a big yard, a sport pavilion and the built is going to have two floors. Each level is going to be divided in two lines, A and B. And on each classroom there will be an electronic board. Also, we will have an open class for students with disabilities, a library, a music class and an assembly hall.

After presenting our broader school our mates find out what was going on, and we think that the best type is the democratic because everyone has to participate and can give his or her opinion.

That’s all ;)
