Last week, our advanced English class learnt about different kinds of questions used in holiday situations.
We talked about how these questions not only give information but also can express target =”_blank”>emotions from anxiety to anger. We also role played different situations where we had to
negotiate something.
In this week’s lesson, our English teacher gave us a challenge: To make the first episode of a
soap opera
using the language we have learnt.
First, we talked about the characteristics of a good soap
(colorful people, families, greed, betrayal, secrets were some of the answers,) Then, we talked about the
characters for our soap
and the story which had to include a holiday situation and a negotiation. Finally, we took pictures of the characters
acting out their parts and added dialogue to the pictures.
We have some great stories including 2 sisters (who don’t know
they are sisters) who meet accidentally at a space airport terminal and a rich spoilt American girl who meets a poor (but very handsome)
artist. Already the sparks are beginning to fly!
Tune in next week for another exciting episode. |
