10/7/2019 Group 2

Today is the first day of the Stanford Pre-Collegiate Studies. In the morning we had our first Global Solutions Project meeting. We met our group mates from different countries: Philippines, Germany and Brazil. We played games together and introduced ourselves to one another. We had a brief introduction of the project by the tutors.

Next we went for the workshop “Today was A Good Day: Storytelling through Hip-Hop” by teacher Ashley Newby. We learnt to write stories with six words only, listened to Hip-Hop songs and tried to analyze the lyrics, such as how did the song make use of ethos, pathos, logos to persuade the listeners its main idea. Besides, we also composed our own Hip-Hop songs, all of us wrote a rap song. We had lots of fun throughout the workshop.

After that, we participated in the scavenger hunt game, led by the TA and CA of the program. We had to complete different missions at different places of the campus, such as taking photos of pretending to be pushing down the Hoover Tower. The group that was able to complete the most missions would be the winner and they would be rewarded.
