Today my students of the ninth grade put on stage LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD. At first, they were very nervous. But as time passed, they started to feel more comfortable with the play. I was afraid that the wouldn't bring their costumes and that they would have forgotten the dialogues. But they did not. The costumes were simply adequate and extremely beautiful. The wolf ws so funny. And Little red Riding Hood was so nice. The grandmother too. She was perfect for the part.
Doing this kind of presentation took time anf effort but it was worth it. They really enjoyed it very much. And, more importantly, they learnt a few things as well. I think that they were able to see that they do not be proficient in the language in order to perform plays in English, or read plays in this foreign language. In addition, working as team helped strengthen their peers' relationships.
It is amazing when you realize all the things that a teacher can learn from the students. Today I was proud of my students.
