The Skit Process

For this French skit, my two group members and I started by putting together an idea of what we wanted to present. Since we already knew the concept would be a cafe, and the rest would be standard cafe stuff (ordering, paying, comments on food) we wanted to spice it up a bit so that it would be different from the others. That is why we added in an arguing couple to make it interesting for the audience, because we thought that would be funny and a little out-of-the-box. My role in our project was writing the script and translating it. This would be a demonstration of the core competency “I can take on roles and responsibilities in a group; I do my share.” I think for me, I showed this by bringing most of the props, dressing the role of my character, and writing the script. Something I could improve on would actually be the same core competency. While I did my share, I felt like I did more work than was entitled to me. Next time, we could improve on even distribution of roles and work on communication, so that it comes together a little smoother next time.

Overall, I learned more about small talk in French and using the verb ‘aller.’ My group and I learned how we work together and collaborate, and I think that I can conclude it as a success.
