Pixar Party


It was Pixar presentation day today.
A few weeks ago I set my 2-7 students a challenge. I split them into groups and gave them a short Pixar movie to watch. I used

For The Birds
Knick Knack
Luxo Jr
One Man Band

The students had to write a script in English and present it to the rest of the class.

They actually did quite well and because they have been putting their dictionaries to good use I was very impressed when the students used expressions like

“Oh, heck”
“Yippee”
“Naked….I’m naaaaaaaaaaaakkkkkkkkeeeeedddddd”
“What the hell am I supposed to do now?”

Anyone who has taught it Japan knows how hard it is to get kids to be creative so I was proud that they at least tried a few new expressions.

We were all out tonight for Aska’s birthday. After a great dinner at Ninoni we headed to karaoke but got distracted by the UFO catcher stands. After much help from the worker and a lot of encouragement from everyone around me, I finally got my prize
Where on earth am I going to put it?
