Today, one class gave presentations on the movies they enjoy. A few of the off-duty teachers and support staff were brought into the classroom to act as an attentive audience.
Stand By Me– an “adventure.”
I am Sam– the presenter says, “He works hardly,” and nods with a serious face. We all nod back.
The Sound of Music– the presentation is titled “Amazing Songs from the Von Trapps.” This student took my advice, bore her audience in mind, and asked if we had seen it. Everyone had, so she skipped the plot summary, and went straight into giving her opinion. She hums “My Favorite Things” for us, and says that the puppets are very cute. “The music can encourage us when we met difficult situation.” She says Edelweiss is the best scene.
