6月19日中午，我校初中高端英语项目戏剧展演在国瑞厅拉开帷幕。初一、初二全体高端英语项目班级师生参加了本次活动，5名外教担任本次戏剧展演的评委，初中执行校长杨磊出席本次活动。

本次参加展演的两个年级的剧目精彩纷呈，策划、开场、服装、道具、表演皆有许多亮点。造型贴近人物个性，台词符合角色特点和表演者的英语能力层级。首先由初一年级带来《Fantastic Mr. Fox》，这部剧目为平时在外教课原版阅读课上所学。在初一（1）班陈元畅用流利的英语介绍完故事简介和自己的阅读心得之后，三位卑鄙、吝啬的饲养场场主闪亮登场，故事就在三个农场主和一群可爱、有勇有谋的狐狸之间进行。机智的狐狸们见招拆招，用自己的智慧和团结协作呈现了一幕幕精彩的表演。演员们口语流利，精神焕发，用他们独特的方式完美地诠释了这部作品。

初二年级给大家带来的是《The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe》。初二（2）班刘予恩给同学们介绍了小说的故事情节，并对小说中的人物进行分析：在二战期间，4个英国小孩被父母送往乡下躲避战火。他们在一个偶然机会穿过一个魔幻衣橱，进入了神奇世界纳尼亚，这原是一块和平乐土，但不幸被白女巫施魔咒变成了冰冻世界。代表正义的狮子阿斯兰在孩子们的帮助下与女巫展开恶战，最终破除了她的魔咒，使纳尼亚恢复了往日的美丽和生机。

小说中的每一个角色都被演员们演绎得栩栩如生，精彩绝伦。其中最为精彩的就是Edmund、Aslan与White Witch搏斗的场景，表演者用生动的语言和动作将整场戏剧推向了高潮，博得场下观众的阵阵掌声。

随后，宋莉莉老师和5名外教老师也给大家带来了非常精彩的情景剧表演，同学们看见他们喜爱的老师们上场，惊喜万分、全场欢呼，将整场活动推向了最高点。

最后，初中教务处副主任张丽君宣读了最佳男女主角和最佳男女配角，以及在平时在线阅读中取得优异表现的同学名单：

剧本介绍：

关于这两幕戏剧的由来，就不得不提到我校英语班的传统以及特色了。我校英语班长期开设原版教材阅读课程，学生平时在外教的指导下阅读原汁原味的英语经典，通过外教制作的学案理解小说背景、人物、故事情节等，并积累词汇。定期将小说中的片段进行阶段性地课堂展示，最后学生们和外教们一起以小说为蓝本进行共同的改编和创作，用戏剧展演的形式呈现原版小说经典阅读的成果。这种形式对于培养学生的语言能力、表演能力和综合素养有很大促进作用。

台前幕后：

在前期初中高端英语项目组也进行了本次戏剧展演的海选活动，在海选活动中初一、初二英语项目的全体学生积极参与，选出了本次展演活动的演员们，随后外教又利用中午的休息时间对所有参演的同学进行了详细的指导和英语一一培训。通过培训提升学生多元化的能力，如：在对戏剧理解的基础上使用可以润色表演的英语交流进行角色的揣摩、发挥与表现；在表现过程中，扩大学生的想象力和对剧情的诠释力。并通过丰富的语言、音乐、场景、肢体动作等方式，挖掘学生们的艺术天性和语言能力，激发其想象力、创造力和自我认知。通过这种方式，能够很好地鼓励学生们勇于表达自我，塑造乐观性格、积极自信的优秀品质。于此同时，对培养学生的团队协作能力、沟通能力和批判性思考能力也起了非常重要的作用。

u 学生们眼中的原版小说阅读课和戏剧展演活动

I have learnt the novel since the beginning of this semester.  Our foreign teacher made his class so interesting that I fell in love with this story Fantastic Mr. fox. I began to love reading novel since then. I was really lucky to be chosen as the main character Mr. fox. I tried hard to act like a fox and think like a father fox. I was very glad we made a success in the final show. First, I would like to express my grateful for my foreign teachers. Without their help, I couldn’t know being an actor is so amazing and I’ve learnt quite a lot from every rehearsal. Also, I want to thank myself. I made a right decision to join the show and I am strong-minded when I am frustrated. In addition, I gained a lot. I became interested in acting. It encourages me to read more and have a better understanding about the character in the book. It seems that I can have a talk with the person in the book. Finally, I want to say thank you to our school which organize this meaningful activity. It provides more chances for our students and motivates us to move on.

Jason from Class 1 Grade 7(曹在熙 初一1班)

When it comes to the English reading class, a lot of classics will pop into my head. And the English reading class is one of my favorite, during which we can not only talk about the main characters , the deep meaning of the theme in the story, but also share our own understanding to the stories. In the class, our foreign teachers often try to explain the difficult words with patience in various ways, building a relaxing and harmonious reading atmosphere for us. From the English class, not only is it beneficial for us to build up our vocabulary, but it can also broaden our horizon, enrich our lives and let us take pleasure in lots of things. All in all, I strongly suggest that we should take up reading as our great interest and hobby. I do believe that reading can change our life and make our life more colorful.

u 外教老师们眼中的原版小说阅读和戏剧展演活动

In our grade 7 reading classes we have been reading Fantastic Mr. Fox. Reading this book has been an excellent opportunity to improve the student’s English; to expose them to new vocabulary and new expressions. We have explained the language and expressions in our reading classes and have looked deeper into the language and structure of the book. We have also had a detailed look at Mr. Fox with the writing assignments, ‘An interview with fantastic Mr. Fox’ and ‘What would I do if I were Mr. Fox?’. More recently we have made a play from the book. This drama has given the students the opportunity to better understand and practice this new language. By having many rehearsals and a performance, the students have consolidated their new phrases and vocabulary. Performing on stage has built the student’s confidence in speaking English. The drama has also allowed students to explore the book further and see it through the character’s eyes.

Over the course of this semester, our grade read The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, by C. S. Lewis. Though the students struggled through many difficult worksheets about the book for homework, they got to take a more creative turn in class. While reading the book, the students were called to turn Edmund’s Turkish Delight fancy into a comic strip, predict what would happen next with the Witch, interview the characters about Spring coming back, do a breaking news story on Aslan’s resurrection, and even act out Peter killing the wolf. As the semester came to a close, the culmination of reading this novel was the novel drama show.

       While a lot of hours of effort went into the Narnia play on the part of both the teachers and the students, it was not in vain, for The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe was truly an exciting and entertaining time for all. Whether it was the giant wardrobe that Miss K worked on for hours on end, the amazingly creative costumes that the students put together, or the superb acting skills that the students displayed, the play was truly a memorable time. Some brilliant highlights are the fake snow around the giant wardrobe, Edmund’s sleigh time with the White Witch and his Turkish Delight, Santa Claus destroying his own reindeer’s antlers, Aslan’s multiple hair-raising roars, the final battle where the Witch broke her own sword in half, and the crowning ceremony where Susan’s crown fell off when she curtsied. All of these and more made the Narnia play what it was: a truly unforgettable experience that I will be chuckling over and reminiscing about for a long time to come.

    Miss Emily from Grade 8

It has been a great experience being involved in the English Novel Drama Show. After a lot of organization and preparation, my colleagues and I held rehearsals for the show. Each one of the students brought their A-game and we were immediately impressed. During the rehearsals, the students worked very hard on improving their pronunciation and acting skills. Even though our rehearsals weren’t always perfect, we were always improving. . I’m so proud of grade 7 and was blown away by grade 8’s performance. It was great to see that all of our hard work paid off and we put on a wonderful performance!
