Day 20 – Tuesday, 30 July 2019 – Drama & Speeches

Today was a big day for More Than English because the students had yet another opportunity to show their work to the rest of us. Showing your work – no matter how good it is – is important if you want to promote resilience and the growth mindset. And we do!

Drama performance

First meeting for Laura’s Drama and Theatre Get Ahead group.

The Drama and Theatre Get Ahead option is ideal for those students who like doing creative work and also like to work in a group and perform on stage for an audience.

This year’s play was about what it means to be a president and had a lot to teach our students about power and responsibility.
