Expert's feedback

Julien Philippe, French expert and librarian who led several cinema projects in our vocational school and who is a librarian in L.P.Antoine, a vocational high-school in France

01

Social advertisements

/

Social ad / video1

A short film based on soft music and images of happy animals. The message is simple but too repetitive (even if the animals are charming).

Spain Ukraine

Stop animal abuse

Social ads / video 2

The stop motion centered on the yellow skull serves the warning purpose well. The atmosphere is distressing, served by disturbing music, sometimes tempered by a hint of black humour. Effective.

France / Ukraine

Drug dangers

Social ads / video3

That stop motion is inventive, including the choice of threatening shadows that embody stalkers in packs and there is a scriptural effort. The voice-over is however too hesitant and not very audible.

France / Ukraine

School bullying

Social ads / video 4

The initial idea is interesting (how to use it to create a mask) but the subject is somewhat undermined by the realization, hesitant.

Ukraine/Turkey

Wear your masks

Social ads / video 5

Dynamic staging and clear speech. The framing in counter-dive shows a choice of staging, even if it is a bit awkward. The second part consists of a series of images (well chosen) and animations carried out with seriousness and attention. The message is clear but the whole thing is a bit cold.

France/Turkey

How to protect yourselves from Corona virus

Social ads / video 6

The film, unbalanced, lacks coherence and dynamism. Some scenes are too long and the written messages are not highlighted.

France/Turkey

How to wear a mask properly

Social ads / video 7

An assembly of different techniques that testify to important work. The film is however very long for a prevention film.

France/Turkey

Why stop smoking

Social ads / video 8

The sobriety of the work serves the clarity of the message. Attention however to the spelling and syntax of the messages displayed.

France/Turkey

Cyberbullying

02

Comedies

/

Comedy / video1

The subject of the film is not very clear and part of this short film is limited to a collection of transformations on Tik Tok. The idea of the meme is not really exploited.

Ukraine/Spain

How are memes born ?

Comedy / video 2

The scriptwriting idea is interesting as well as the references to silent film comedies and the acting is enthusiastic. Perhaps it would have taken a fall to better exploit the idea. The sound recording is unfortunately not very good and the image is a little shaky but the framing is well seen.

Turkey/France

The cheater

Comedy / video 3

The tribute to Chaplin is a good idea to start with but the video is limited to a succession of dances without a real thread: a script is missing!

France / Ukraine

A comedy film copying Charlie Chaplin style of dancing.

Comedy/ video 4

Part 1: An interesting starting idea that gives an absurd situation served by a pretty good acting. The staging is neat. 2nd part: an important writing work, as well as voice-over recording (the sound is little audible for the first story but very good afterwards). The diction and intonation of the actors are very good.

Turkey/Ukraine

Children's jokes and funny stories.

03

Fake news

/

FAKE NEWS / VIDEO 1

Ukraine: a somewhat disjointed work at the beginning but the humorous rewriting of a report with the idea of Ukrainian descendants of Leonardo da Vinci is well exploited.

Turkey: The idea of a fake TV news was a good starting point and some interventions were quite successful. The presenter is not very audible and the connection between false information is sometimes not very understandable.

TURKEY/ UKRAINE

FAKE NEWS /VIDEO 2

FRANCE/ UKRAINE

The false news follows one another and shows a certain inventiveness: the classic theme of the creature seen by a single witness; the probably too absurd and bizarre idea of a dismembered Cristiano Ronaldo; the feline origin of humanity; an escape of animals that sows chaos... The whole is uneven, both on the background and on the form. The last play, very written, is for example a little too static and lack of interactions between the actors.

Fake news / video3

Ukraine: a somewhat disjointed work at the beginning but the humorous rewriting of a report with the idea of Ukrainian descendants of Leonardo da Vinci is well exploited.

Turkey/Ukraine

FAKE NEWS /VIDEO 4

UKRAINE/ UKRAINE

Resumption of the skit of the previous video supplemented by several other false information in the framework of a false editorial conference (the story of a deadly carnival attraction, illustrated by a video; the hamburger for left-handers...). The film shows a great writing work and a careful diction. The staging is however reduced to a minimum with a fixed plan.

Do you want to get your students up on their feet, energized and excited to learn?

Want to give them a chance to goof around together, have fun, make mistakes, laugh and move forward-all while building resiliency and community?

Want to allow students who aren't always great at academics to stand out, displaying their physical skills, artistry and ability to "ham it up"?

Then introduce some drama into your English teaching!

And even if you aren't a ham yourself, or don't feel like you could act your way out of a paper bag, you can easily use these techniques in your classroom.

I'll share four very simple ways to use drama with ESL students, which you can adopt and adapt to fit your own teaching.

As you try these out, you'll find that they help all your students learn to work together. It becomes clear that no matter their level of English or how much they excel at academics, they can all contribute, have fun, build relationships and stretch their creative muscles.

Your students will be able to practice speaking English in a very low-pressure environment, trying out vocabulary and sentence constructions in a way that pushes them past the self-consciousness that can be such an obstacle to success.

Technique 1: The Improvisational Approach ("Yes, and...")

This approach comes to us from improvisational comedy, and has become incredibly popular in the corporate world as a way to improve the quality of brainstorming and group work. ( Here's a popular book on the subject.)

Too often when brainstorming or being creative, one person will offer an idea only to have the next person respond with some variation on "No, but..." The idea is shot down, refuted and rejected, and the creative energy in the room collapses like a deflating soufflé.

The basic idea of this approach is simple: When two actors are improvising a scene together, and the first one kicks off the action, the second always responds positively and builds on what the other has done. We call this the "Yes, and...!" approach, because it's the opposite of the "No, but..." approach.

It takes practice to get students (and ourselves) working in this way. I like to make my students stand when we get started, because as I tell them, this is a "no but(t) zone," so it would be hard to sit down.

You can try brainstorming or improvisational storytelling to practice this technique. For example, I might ask my students to suggest new, modern settings for the Shakespeare play we are reading. The rule is that if they want to respond to another idea, they must begin with the phrase "Yes, and...".

Student A: Maybe we could set it in a coffee shop?

Student B: Yes, and the fight scenes could happen on the street outside!

It doesn't matter what you are brainstorming-solutions to a problem, settings for a play, topics for research papers, ad campaigns for products-this technique makes the process more fun and energetic, and makes your students feel as if their ideas are heard and understood by their classmates (because too often we shoot down ideas before we have even really considered them).

Once your students have had some practice working in this way, you can ask them to use it when they approach brainstorming and small group work. And you'll know you have taught them something valuable when you find them using this approach even when you haven't required it, because they have found that it works well to elicit creative, interesting ideas.

Technique 2: Improvisation Games

Improvisation games take the "Yes, and..." approach to the next level. They are incredibly fun, and help build energy and foster creativity. They are great lead-ins to brainstorming, acting out scenes in plays and group work.

Here are a couple good examples, both of which build on the improvisational philosophy, and which give students practice embracing the ideas that others offer.

The Hitchhiker

Set up four chairs in front of the class. Two will be the front seat of the car, and two are the back seat. Put three volunteers in the car, two in the front seat and two in the back. Of course the front left person is driving the car. Ask them to drive for a few minutes, and then spot another volunteer "hitchhiking," and pick him or her up.

When the new person gets in the car, they choose a feeling-happy, sad, tired, angry, whatever they like-and act in that way. The other students in the car should pick up and act out the feeling too. So if the person who gets in the car is acting tired, for example, the driver might start slumping in her seat, slapping her face to help herself stay awake, etc.

Let them do this for a short amount of time (thirty seconds to one minute), and then have the car stop to pick up another hitchhiker. Those already in the car should rotate seats; the driver will exit the car, the front passenger slides over, one of the back seat passengers should move up front, and the former hitchhiker slides over a seat.

The longer your class plays, the harder they'll have to work to come up with fun new ideas, but the more creative they'll get with the feelings and actions they choose.

The Strange Neighbor

The class stands in two circles, an inner circle facing outward, and an outer circle facing inward. Each student faces a partner. One of the two offers a ridiculous statement to the other, and the second must accept what they say and add on to it. For example:

Student A: Maria, I love your new pet dinosaur.

Student B: Oh yes, he's the best, except he keeps eating all the dogs in the neighborhood!

Rotate the outer circle and let them try again and again as they change partners.

There are hundreds of great improvisational games you can play. Some take just a few minutes, and others take more time to complete. The resources online are tremendous; here are a few of the best ones:

The improwiki offers an encyclopedia of different improvisation games, each one categorized by type. They are grouped as "exercises" and "games," and each one has a description as well as suggestions for similar activities.

The improv encyclopedia offers similar resources, although their activity descriptions tend to be a little shorter and less detailed.

Technique 3: Human Slideshow

This technique (as well as the next) has many uses. It's particularly good at pushing students to think about which moments in their reading are most important, and so it's a great way to work on summarizing material. You can use it to have them summarize chapters in a book or the entirety of a book, play or short story.

In the Human Slideshow, we ask students to create "slides" or photographs by posing. For example, I assign each group of students one chapter from "The Joy Luck Club," and ask them to choose the three most important moments from the chapter.

They will create a living picture to illustrate the moment, and then the narrator will explain what is happening and why it's a key moment. If you want, let them bring in props and create costumes to add to the fun of the scene.

For example, we might see one student at a piano, pretending to play, while a beaming teacher looks on happily and the audience reacts with dismay.

The narrator explains: "Here Jing-Mei plays piano at her recital, and her parents learn that she isn't the prodigy they thought she was. Her teacher, who is deaf, has no idea how bad she is! This moment is important in the chapter because..."

Technique 4: One-minute Theater

One-minute Theater, like Human Slideshow, can be used to summarize chapters, books and other reading material. It can also be used to introduce your students to the plots of challenging work, so that they can focus on understanding the writing rather than following the story.

For example, I use this technique when introducing plays by Shakespeare. If the students have a basic understanding of what will happen in the play before they begin reading, it takes some of the pressure off, and we can work together on acting out scenes and making sense of individual lines and speeches.

You can give students a summary of a full play (for example, here's a summary of "Hamlet") or of smaller pieces of it, then ask them to read it, assign roles and put together a one-minute play that goes with the summary. Don't be a stickler for time. If their plays take 2-4 minutes, that's fine too!

Hopefully these suggestions have given you a sense of some ways you can use drama techniques in your classroom. Embrace the "Yes, and..." philosophy, and start bringing drama into your classroom!

Oh, and One More Thing...

If you liked these fun drama techniques, you'll love using FluentU in your classroom. FluentU takes real-world videos-like music videos, cartoons, documentaries and more-and turns them into personalized language learning lessons for you and your students.

It's got a huge collection of authentic English videos that people in the English-speaking world actually watch on the regular. There are tons of great choices there when you're looking for songs for in-class activities.

You'll find music videos, musical numbers from cinema and theater, kids' singalongs, commercial jingles and much, much more.

On FluentU, all the videos are sorted by skill level and are carefully annotated for students. Words come with example sentences and definitions. Students will be able to add them to their own vocabulary lists, and even see how the words are used in other videos.

For example, if a student taps on the word "brought," they'll see this:

Plus, these great videos are all accompanied by interactive features and active learning tools for students, like multimedia flashcards and fun games like "fill in the blank."

It's perfect for in-class activities, group projects and solo homework assignments. Not to mention, it's guaranteed to get your students excited about English!
Bring English immersion to your classroom!
