THE DARK SIDE OF TEXTBOOKS: ANALYST´S POV

Hi everyone! I´m Fran. I have changed my role and this week I've been the analyst of my group. As you know, the analyst has to evaluate the work of the group, in this case, the work of my group. This week we have been working on "The dark side of textbooks". To prepare this task, we could do it of three ways and we chose to make a comic.

The best part of the activity has been to design the comic and to create the story that we have used to the exposition in the "Art Gallery". When we met on Tuesday, some people of my group had thought a good story with many creative ideas and then, we chose this idea for the comic. Creating the comic was the funiest part and the best of this week. Thanks to some of my groupmates that are very good in computer programs, we could finish the comic soon and without problems.

On the contrary, I think that the worse part of the activity was the exposition time. It´s true that my groupmate Ana had prepared very good her exposition and the results were very good, but this part of the task it´s always the most complicated. The problem in general used to be the nervous but This part is required to the task, it´s the way to show your work to your peers. This week, we have been told  "well done", In general to the hole class and in particular to our star when she showed our comic.

This week I can say that we have had two great moments. First moment was we decided the story of the comic. When we decided the bullets and we developed the story. It was a great moment and I have to say it!. The second moment was when we were congratulated because we could check that our comic was creative and good.

Now, I have to talk about the worse moment of the week. This week have been very good and we haven´t had bad moments. I think, the worse moment of this week was that  my group and I saw our star alone a couple of times during the exposition of the "Art Gallery".We thought "oh no! anybody want to see our comic!" but it was a stupid thing because every group came to see our "piece of art" and in general, everyone liked it.

I have learnt this week that an image can make you feel a lot sensations and you can show perfectly an idea or understand thanks to images.

About the work of my group, I think that if we conserve the emphaty in the group and the way we distribute the task, we can do a good job in the following tasks. I don´t know what to say about how to improve the work of my group, because I think that we work hard and We must continue as now.

The content of this task it´s important because technologies are a reality in the classrooms and we can say that books are a small pedagogical jail. This content is related with our career and above all is related with our future as teachers.

This content and the discussion about it, we can find in the media. Many digital news, Newspapers, films or some studies talk about this content.

See you next week! Regards.
