Aladdin and his new adventure.

In this third post I would like to talk about the workshop. I don´t know how you all feel, but I feel exited with this great opportunity!

Is the first time that we have the chance to work with pupils in the university, we sometimes see other groups of mates working with pupils and I have to say that I felt a little bit jealous but now we are the ones that have this challenge.

In class we were deciding which film we were going to deal with and we have had very good options as “The lord of the rings”, “The book of the jungle”, “Mary Poppins”, “Aladdin” and others. So we have to vote the ones that we liked the most and the thing was so equal between “the book of the jungle” and “Aladdin” however “Aladdin” wins. At first sight was a little bit difficult to find the didactic porpoise of this film but as the time goes by every group was thinking on the different things we could teach with this incredible film. After that we presented our topics to the rest of the mates and they told as some advices about where to place the different groups and also other topics that we can relate with the one we have chosen.

Moreover I didn´t remember the film very well so that day in the afternoon I was watching the film to see all the scenes and how funny the Gini was, the next day in my group we were all singing the songs that are displayed in the film, how anybody can remember the songs that well, but my mates did it; now I´m all the time singing it.

I would never imagine doing this at the university, but in my opinion is a very good way to practice for our future jobs, and also for being more prepared and being more involved in the task. I´m so enthusiastic, I count the days to do it and to see all of as dress up like all the characters in the film and also how you we all decorate the university. I hope you are also enjoying with this task. I would like to know what do you think about it and how do you feel?

Do you think we could adapt Disney films to explain science and other subjects to our students?

One thought on “Aladdin and his new adventure.

  1. Hello Paula!
    First of all I am really impatient to work on this project, to see how students react to the activities and the decoration, and how they can learn from all we have carefully planned. Also, it is a great opportunity for us, to show all the knowledge and skills we have acquired through these years of university.
    With this workshop, we are teaching contents and values to the students, so of course we can take a lot of advantages from Disney films, because they are full of worlds set in real places and dealing with real things, such as objects and customs.
    I think all of us are looking forward to this project because we have taken our time to make fascinating and enriching activities for the students, so we are very excited for this day to come. I hope everything goes on the right direction but, remember, even if we make mistakes look at the positive side of them, because they will be useful for us!
