Every Thursday afternoon, Bryan teaches a "Free Talking" class to our students. This class is completely voluntary, and is a chance for the kids to practice their English in a less structured, more fun environment. It has been a hit at school, and the kids looove 'Teacher Bryan" :). He has done various activities with them such as setting up a 'restaurant' to practice 'ordering' dialogue, Jeopardy, and most recently, helping them write a play.
They adapted an old Korean Folklore to their own personal style. The original tale is about a wood cutter that each loses his ax while chopping wood. A ghost approaches him with a normal ax and a golden ax and asked which one was his. He is honest and chooses the normal ax. He continues to lead a happy and healthy life. Meanwhile, an evil man witnesses this and purposes loses his ax. When the ghost approaches him with the normal and golden options, he immediately chooses the golden ax. He then, consequently, is struck by lightening and dies..
They wrote the new script together and memorized the lines. They worked for about 2 weeks on it, and I was lucky enough to sit in on their performance. Its pretty adorable, check it out:
