My Classroom: My World
This workshop shows we can produce a stress free learning environment through our attitudes as teachers. Catchy activities such as songs, stories, drama, laughter, films, use of high technology, etc, turn the lessons into an enjoyable and successful experience in which the students have opportunity to develop and show their talents. The English classroom makes a difference in their lives.

Procedure: Students make puppets out of recycled material ( old socks, newspapers, coloured paper, old buttons, toilet rolls etc)
First, the teenagers help the little ones to make the puppets, then to rehearse the four scene play they have written. They film the show and then using the software "Windows Movie Maker", they edit the work in the computer. Finally, the students show their work in the School Fair.
