The Wonderful Wizard of OZ: the show!

Thursday 11th April the students of class I-III D went to the primary school of Lugnano in Teverina to perform the play about the tale "The Wonderful Wizard of OZ".

When we arrived the pupils welcomed us showing the posters they had created with their teacher on the tale, then the older students went to get ready for the play.

While the students were getting ready Filippo helped me to set the scene. 

And now ... let's begin!

Here is the video of their performance.






And some pictures too!

Before starting they were very excited and anxious too. After the performance they were a bit more relaxed and, together with teacher Carla, the teacher of V year pupils, we carried out a debate on what they liked and on what we can improve next year.

This last part of our activity was really useful both because we had the chance of sharing ideas and also because we had a lot of ideas for a new project next year!

So at the end of this experience what I'd like to say both to my students, to teacher Carla and her pupils is a huge

Tell a tale: The Wonderful Wizard of OZ

At the beginning of the school year the students of class I-III D started a new project called "Tell a tale" in cooperation with the class V of the primary school of Lugnano in Teverina.
We read the story and some info on the writer and the pupils of the primary school read the story too and made some activities on the vocabulary, the characters, the places and so on. They also created some posters on what they did.
The students of class I-III D had to prepare a show to tell the story to their younger friends.
So after having decided the characters and having read the script together they started to learn it and to prepare the scenes.

Then, some weeks ago, they started to rehearse and in this way they had the chance to practice both for the show and the language with the new words they learnt and the intonation to use in the various scenes.
