The first cultural
workshop meeting had us placed in groups with both TEFL students and CIES
students. Dennis, Juliana and I were in a group, along with Rosana and Ahmed
from the CIES class. Rosana is Peruvian, and Ahmed is from Saudi Arabia. For
the first session, we mostly got to know each other through a worksheet given
out beforehand. Each worksheet has five bubbles in which we will note an aspect
of our personality. I included "student" and "math major",
for example. Rosana mentioned she is a mother, and Ahmed included that he is a
student. It was interesting how most of us included the same thing, that we
were all students. In addition, the differences that we put led to discussion
about our home cultures. I think this was a good way for us to get to know each
other quickly.
