Reason #11 Opening new worlds – for students and families


Two days ago, Olivette asked if she could borrow the film "Les Choristes" which we had watched in class.  She said that her parents wanted to watch it after she talked about it to them.

Today Olivette returned the movie and she was so excited.  She said that her dad watched it with her and really liked it.  She told him to pay attention at the very beginning because she knew how important it is.  At the end her dad said "Is that Pepinot?"  She said "Yes!"  Olivette said it was crazy how excited they got watching the film together. Her face lit up and she related it to another movie she watched in junior high. I was so excited that she had the opportunity to appreciate a film she saw because she chose to be in French. She probably would not have ever known about it otherwise. Seeing students open up to new worlds and experiences is exciting!    

Merci Olivette pour ton enthousiasme pour le français et ton intérêt dans les films ! J’aime bien ton énergie !  

This is why I teach!
