Authenticity and Spontaneity Story telling !

Set A Context, Tell A Story Topic : self-introduction and daily routine The Story: Make a Chinese E-pal I asked a few students from China to film their daily routines first and showed the videos to my Y9s and told them they would like to make some friends from England. So students were highly motivated in putting their scripts together, some filmed and some recorded their self-introduction and daily routine. Students’ work: https://youtu.be/8ZFNOMoNX6I

Set A Context, Tell A Story Topic : Food and Drink The Story: Make a Chinese Song/Rap Album Our music department would like to make an album about Chinese food and drink, send in your demo or even music videos asap Students’ work: https://youtu.be/jYkkI9nQ1EA
