Preparation for our Production

These photos give you an indication of the fun and cooperation involved in putting a production together. This ESOL group have been rehearsing for a number of weeks. After working together on a shared project the communication between the students is relaxed. Everyone has the same goal, to tell a story and entertain.

Getting Ready for our Performance

An effective way to develop spoken English and writing simultaneously is to have students work out how they can adapt a well known story for Reader's Theatre or a drama.

One of our ESOL groups have done just that. They have read Margaret Mahy's book 'Shopping with a Crocodile',  and adapted it for a narrated play.  
You may like to find out more about Margaret Mahy by visiting this site: http://www.bookcouncil.org.nz/writers/mahym.html

After a lot of writing and rehearsal, the students are ready to perform their work. St Albans ESOL parents are invited to attend the afternoon performance on Friday 26th June 2015 at 2:10 pm.
