Year 7 French Binational Students Bring Jules Verne to Life
Our Year 7 French Binational students have embarked on an exciting literary adventure, bringing the classic novel Le tour du monde en 80 jours (Around the World in 80 Days) by Jules Verne to life through collaborative theatre.
Working in small groups, students selected scenes from Verne’s beloved 1873 adventure novel and simplified the text to make it more accessible for their level. They then adapted these scenes for performance, focusing on bringing the characters and story to life through their acting skills.
The performances demonstrated not only the students’ confidence in French but also their ability to work collaboratively and think creatively about literature.
This innovative approach to language learning combines literature, performance, and teamwork – perfectly embodying the collaborative spirit of our French Binational program.
