Week 1-2

      On Thursday, 12th of September we've been split into 4 groups. Michael presented us with his idea of a play. It is about Christmas being banned by the government and how 5 brave kids find out about it and try to bring it back.
      We started based on what Michael said, each group was writing different stories, we all came up with ideas, we discussed it as a group and we started writing.

      "Christmas has been banned a long time ago. Most of the people even forgot about it or they don't even know, nobody talks about it because of the fear. The government has two sides, a good one and a bad one. Of course, the bad side doesn't know about the good one. They all think that everyone's the same while the people from the good side are thinking of bringing Christmas back. They want to bring happiness back to the family's life but they're afraid about how people would react to this new feeling of joy and happiness.
      They take 5 teenagers to a secret place to use full of modern technology. Using it, they get into the children's minds and see the reaction of seeing what Christmas really is.

      In the second week, we worked on the same play trying to continue writing. We also got to perform it in front of the other groups.

   

      We have also discussed about the unit 10 and 11 blogs. Also, we had a lesson where we exercised on how to perform our monologues.
