In Honor of American Idol: Welcome to Hollywood!
Every other week is an "acting” week. The students read a news report in front of a blue screen and act out the script. There are different backgrounds and cool intro, news type music, so I get pretty excited when it’s an acting week. Last week April told us that there is an April wide acting contest. All of the April Institutes throughout Korea are to submit their best videos to headquarters and the winners get a trip to Seoul, and could win a Nintendo Wii, electronic dictionary, or restaurant certificates. I tried to motivate my students to do well by giving them extra points (huge!) and I said I’d buy them something “special”. Well that translated to an iPhone, video games, and other electronics that I would never buy them. So I ended the conversation telling them IF you win, we will discuss your prize. Well my bribery worked… for some. Last week all of the teachers got together to make our “dream acting teams” and about ten out of the 16 students chosen are from my classes. Obviously not everyone makes it to Seoul, but I hope my students do well in the competition! Maybe my forensics gestures will come in handy. I’ll keep you posted on how they do.
