Which 2 learner profiles would you attribute to yourself during our preparation?
I would attribute myself to reflective, risk-taker.
Why did you chose the above 2 Leaner Profile. Explain your choice.
One of the learner profiles I would attribute to myself is "risk-taker". It is because I am not the best at speaking in front of an audience, especially parents. However, I didn't choose a role that has little lines, but instead one of the bigger roles - which was Mr. Martin. I have about 25 lines. I was hard for me because I am not confident in speaking french. This is the reason I believe I was a risk-taker.
The second learner profile I would attribute to myself is "reflective". This is because I have been constantly reflecting upon how well and how quickly I can recall my lines. I practise them daily when I am showering or on the bus. I also think of the lines every time before and during the play starts. Moreover, I reflect upon how I am saying and presenting my lines to the audiences. I think of how loud I should since I always speak too softly, and remind myself during the play. Although my action for my first scene wasn't much, I did reflect where I should look and turn, and what hand gestures I could do to make it look more natural. For the part where we start saying random things which "we" thought was wise, I reflected and decided I shouldn't curl my bac, and I should stand up in more confidence, and not just fall back into the chair... This is the reasons I believe I was reflective.
What was the best part of your experience?
The best part of my experience is the first time we presented our play on that night. I thought it was a great experience since we get to have our costumes on and actually present to people so I thought what we had worked on paid off. Also, it was the first time which had more people, but an appropriate amount for the first time since I was quite nervous. So the best part was definitely performing to the "public".
What do you think you would like to do next year to enhance your experience?
I think if we were to do it again, I would like to suggest we get more props, because although it is the theatre of the absurd, it might be too boring for people because it’s already in french, and there isn’t much action, so maybe I would propose we decorate the place more, and make it more interesting. Otherwise, I might suggest if we could have an english script for parents to take if they want to. Since a lot of the parents do not understand french - and on the other hand, there isn’t much decoration. And it at the same time, parents can also see our level of french, or even more ideal, able to refer the play and script back and forth. However, as some of my own mistakes, I would not panic again when some one said the wrong line, I could’ve just say “quelle cacade” after Sarah did “teuff teuff” after Alice made a mistake.
Choose 1 Learner Profile that you would like to demonstrate next year? (different from above)
A Learner Profile that I would like to demonstrate next year is “thinker”.
Explain your choice
I would like to be more of a thinker last year so I could fix moments that went wrong by thinking of solutions quicker and being calmer, so awkwardness would be avoided. I would like to do so since I have experienced that moment this year when Alice said the wrong line, and I started to panic, not knowing where to start, and I wasn’t thinking quick enough so I ended up continuing the last part, and at that point, it couldn’t be fixed because the others have to continue the sentence. Causing a whole page to be missed. So I would like to demonstrate myself more as a thinker.
Write any 2 to 3 sentences in French…
Je pense que j’ai apprendu beaucoup pendant l’experience du Festival de la Francophonie. Mais il a besoin de beaucoup de le courage pour moi quand j’ai effectué - J’ai été très nerveux!
