I attended to the
second discussion panel “Mini Sagas: My Creative Process” supervised by Dr.
Mildred Lockwood on Tuesday March 25, 2014. The students that participated in
this panel were students from the PSAE Program. In this panel the students
defined the mini saga concept and they presented different mini sagas. The
students that were participating as panelist were Kathyria Sánchez, Paula
Mysonet, Ashley Dalmau, Maricel Vargas, Manueli Cabrera and Brian Aldiss. They
defined mini saga as a very short piece of writing containing exactly 50 words.
In my personal opinion I like a lot this panel because they incorporated the
dramatization in their presentation. In my opinion Maricel Vargas had the best
performance in the mini saga. I remember she said: “Girl you have taught me
that together we can save lives”, which showed the message transmitted through
the mini saga.
Through the mini sagas
student exposed important topics such as: physical appearances, health, racism,
expectations, live, goals and beliefs. My favorite mini saga was about
Expectations; because it really made me laugh. Ashley mentioned in this mini
saga: “Expectations? Challenge: Evaluations. The cruel reality of has a
husband”. Kathyria Sanchez’s mini saga was incredible. I really love her mini
saga about the bulimic woman. I remember when she said: “Mirror, mirror.
Beautiful is only thin. I am awake. I see my enemy, me ugly fat. I only desire
to be like the one on the TV. This mini saga impacted myself. Here I quote Ashley's mini saga, Expectations, that was my favorite.
Expectations
By. Ashley Dalmau
Some are intelligent, some are dumb.
Some have manners, others don’t.
Some are loving, others rude.
Some are gentle, others sour.
Some are handsome, tall, strong, energetic…. Others careless,
Small, fat, lazy.
Some love the family, others love their PlayStation.
Expectations?
Challenge evaluation…
The cruel reality of finding a husband.
Definitely, the
panelists explain that most important thing of a mini saga is that it should
have theme, conflict and solution in exactly 50 words. In my personal opinion
the mini saga panel was the best part of the different student conferences.
This experience allowed me to learn knew concepts. For example it was the first
time I heard about mini sagas. In conclusion I think that this experience was
very educational and useful, because this opportunity helped to develop different
communication English skills.
I also attended to this panel and was one of my favorites. Nevertheless it was also my first time discovering what mini sagas are, but they just amaze me. By the way you did an excellent job presenting your essay in the student conference.
