Reason #26 When a film becomes a reality

How cool is it when a student experiences something through a film and then wants to incorporate it into his own life and world. 

One of my students came up to me and told me that he proposed one of songs from our recent movie “Les Choristes” for our school choir. Now we all know what happens when we have a good idea…we get put in charge of making it reality.  So my excited student, now dreading his great idea, is now going to be working with one of our choirs to bring this song to our school!

I know he will be awesome and I am so thankful for his interest in French and talent. He has even asked for extra work because he will be graduating early.  I am thrilled that he is asking for more. How many students do? However, I am also selfish in my wanting him to be in French another year.  He has added so many amazing stories to our class and really shows me how a motivated student can grow so quickly in his mastery of the language.

Merci Alphonse pour ton effort et ton travail supérieur!  
Je suis si heureux que tu étudies le français !


This is why I teach!
