Play-ful Learning

After weeks of preparation our second grade class was ready to perform their play this week!
I had seen the project develop: students creating backgrounds for the play, discussing ideas and writing the script. Frau Wester put ideas from a German language development workshop into practice by giving students the opportunity to develop the story themselves. They made it their own
and the outcome was fantastic! Not only did students have fun preparing for the play but they impressed all of us with their ability to perform so fluently. I hope to be able to post the video and pictures here soon.
By creating a learning opportunity that was meaningful and student-centered our second grade class developed a deeper understanding about the German language.
Well done second grade!
