To allow the students to practice translation and English expressions in a fun, dramatic performance
Movie Skits
Presentation must be conducted entirely in English!
Groups of 2-4
Groups will choose a movie scene in English, with the goal of translating the dialogue into Japanese, and then dramatically performing (or re-enacting) the scenes in front of their classmates to convey the meaning.
After each presentation observing students will complete a short, anonymous assessment with comments on the performance to be given to the groups as constructive feedback at the end.
Peer assessment can include:
- Effective - did they understand the meaning of the movie skit in English?
- Engaging - was the performance entertaining?
- Style - was the group easy to hear? Were they well practiced/organized?
- Worksheet - overall quality assessment.
