Estrangis Contest. 7th April 2008, Monday.


We finally performed our theatre play for Estrangis contest at the Regional Government Main Hall- Diputación Provincial. The sketch we have created in French and English about immigration has participated in the Multicultural Section of the contest. The sketch is called La Machine de la Fortune- The Fortune Machine and deals with immigration in the 60s and nowadays: A Spanish immigrant in a Parisian café listens to people imprisoned in a slot machine from different parts of the world talking about today immigration situations. As part of the Content and Language Integrated Learning, this activity has been prepared by the teachers of Spanish, French and English with the help and support of many other teachers, in special with the collaboration of the Art teacher and students in Professional Formation. Our language assistants Cory, Shelby, Elodie and training students have done a very important work helping students with the pronunciation.
We really believe theatre fosters oral practice and creativity. It also helps cross curricular themes in the classroom as interculturality in this year play. It favours team work within the classroom and within the teachers. We have felt we were not alone doing this project.
This is the 5th edition of Estrangis Contest and this has been the 5th time our school has taken part in it. So, we really feel proud of participating in this contest again.
