Compte rendu - AFTV 2023 Cultural / PL Event: Chagall

Compte rendu - AFTV 2023 Cultural / PL Event: Chagall

CHAGALL - an exhibition celebrating the story of an international master, among the greatest artists of the twentieth century, Marc Chagall (1887-1985). For a change we decided on a Sunday afternoon (29 October) to visit the CHAGALL exhibition at the Jewish Museum of Australia in Alma Road, St Kilda. This obviously appealed as we had well over 40 bookings.

Compte rendu - AFTV Atelier Théâtre

Compte rendu - AFTV Atelier Théâtre

There is no other way to report on this event than by expressing immense gratitude.

So, MILLE MERCIS Natacha Muller, director of The French Loop for guiding us during a whole day and showing us ways to create “des occasions théâtrales” in our classes. 

An apt sub-title for l’Atelier théâtre would be FAIRE FEU DE TOUT BOIS, the name of one of the workshops proposed.

The 8 participating French teachers left invigorated and indeed ready to faire feu de tout bois, as we all realised how natural it is to integrate drama to language teaching and learning.

A big thank you to Vincent Berraud who hosted this meeting at Caulfield Junior College on Tuesday 1 August.

Vincent showed us some of his opening routines and shared with us how he incorporates songs into his lessons to teach vocabulary such as family and professions. We then tackled the huge topic of assessment; comparing progression points, record keeping and how to interpret ACARA (and the soon to be released VCAA).
