What are your expectations of this course?
My expectation for the Stop Motion course is to learn about how to create movies with this technology; after I finish this experience I could show my movie and what I learned in this class to may friends and family.
What did you feel like BEFORE you went into the class?
I was kind of nervous because I didn't know anybody, and I was excited at the same time because I'll do something I always wanted to do.
Tell us about your class, classmates and teacher.
My class was kind of WEIRD because there were 3 little boys, 3 guys that looked like 11 or 12 years old (but they acted like if they were 7 or 8, so I really don't like those guys) and one girl and me, so I felt kind of uncomfortable buecause I looked like the older in the class.
Let me talk about the guys behavior: they were torturing each other becuse they didn't stop hitting each other and they played games for boys 8 years or younger. The girl was a DARK girl: she was dressed with black clothes and with a beret with thumbtacks, and she did't talk as much as I would have wanted.
Finally, the teacher: she was an African American woman with very curly hair and she was really nice. She spent all the class sending text messages.

What do you expect will happen tomorrow?
My expectations for tomorrow are: start making our movies with the stop motion, I wish the girl speaks more than today, and the guys have a better behavior.
You wanted to learn to create movies with this technology. Have you learned about it? Can you explain how it works?
Yes, I have learned some things, for example: you have to move your character in short steps and take the photo, then do it again and again, because if you move it in big steps you can't appreciate the movie.
Do you remember the names of your classmates and your teacher?
No I don't think I remember all the guys names but the teacher name is Kathrina and the DARK girl's name is Katerina.
Now that you know them a little bit more, what can you tell us about your classmates? Are they still giving you the same impression they gave you the first day?
Yes, they are still giving me the same impression as the first day because they are still doing the same things all the time and they laugh about silly things.
What did you do today in the class? (Wednesday) What will you do on Tuesday and Friday?
I finished filming and tomorrow I'll edit and I don't know what we are going to do.
What about at home. Do you feel happy with us (Alfredo, the dogs and I?)
I feel very comfortable and happy here with you guys; I like that you're always laughing about everythig. It's fun being here.
How do you feel when we speak English? Is it hard? Does it make you feel weird?
I felt kinda weird at the beginning, but then I get use to speak in English and it's really easy.

This course was held at San Felipe Community Center. It is a park, and it has a building where the indoors classes take place. Here are some pictures:
