Alla ricerca di una strategia che mi permettesse di testare le competenze dei miei alunni nella lingua straniera a fine triennio, ho pensato di uscire dai canoni stuzzicando la loro curiosità e suggerendo di creare delle conversazioni immaginarie o interviste impossibili ai personaggi storici studiati. Nel momento in cui è partita l'iniziativa, qualcuno ha pensato ad un dialogo tra Henry VIII e il Papa Clemente VII in relazione al loro diverbio che ha portato alla creazione della chiesa Anglicana; altri hanno creato delle interviste a Shakespeare, a Romeo e Giulietta, a Richard Burbage (proprietario del Globe theatre), alla regina Elizabeth I, a Mary Tudor (chiedendo spiegazioni sul suo soprannome "Bloody Mary") e allo stesso Henry VIII. C'è stato chi ha pensato di intervistare persone comuni del tempo per affrontare tematiche come il divieto alle donne di recitare in teatro. Alcuni hanno anche deciso di mettersi nei panni dei personaggi storici dell'epoca scrivendo delle lettere. Tra questi, Anne Boleyn che svela la verità sulle accuse mosse nei suoi confronti da Henry VIII (accuse che hanno portato alla sua decapitazione), oppure la regina Elizabeth che svela il motivo del suo mancato matrimonio o, ancora, Henry VIII che vuole far conoscere il suo talento per la musica. Alcuni prodotti contengono anche delle registrazioni audio autentiche dei ragazzi.
Questo padlet è la raccolta dei loro lavori più originali.

This year, for my English civilization lessons, I chose an historical period that I find very fascinating and engaging: the Tudor era. In search of a strategy that would allow me to test my students' skills in the foreign language at the end of the middle school, I thought of getting out of the canons by stimulating their curiosity and suggesting to create imaginary conversations or impossible interviews with the historical characters studied. When the initiative started, someone thought of a dialogue between Henry VIII and Pope Clement VII in relation to their dispute which led to the creation of the Anglican church; others created interviews with Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet, Richard Burbage (owner of the Globe theatre), Queen Elizabeth I, Mary Tudor (asking for explanations about her nickname "Bloody Mary") and Henry VIII. There were those who thought of interviewing ordinary people of the time to deal with issues such as the prohibition for women about acting in the theatre. Some even decided to put themselves in the shoes of the historical characters of the time by writing letters. Among those ones, Anne Boleyn who reveals the truth about the accusations against her by Henry VIII (accusations that led to her beheading), or Queen Elizabeth who reveals the reason why she didn't marry or, again, Henry VIII who wants to make known his talent for music. 
Some products also contain authentic students' audio recordings.
