After the story telling sessions, Naowed and I started the part of changing the story. At that time, we were a bit behind time comparing to the other group, and this made us speed things up a bit.
We spent one sessions changing the names of the characters and some scenes in the story. This cost us quite a lot of time, as they had so many different ideas for the story, which was quite unexpected from us. And we had to pay for that. In the next session, we had to restart the whole changing story thing again! But this time, it was quite effective, as Naowed found most of their interests in Harry Potter. Thus, we chose to change the story into "Arthur's Halloween", and this motivated most of them. Yet we still had to pay the price of the time.
In the next session, we tried to help them in their acting, but we observed that their reading skills were not good and needed improvements.
Therefore, on the next two sessions, Naowed decided to use these sessions to improve the students' reading skills. We spent time make them read, find their mistakes such as pronounciation, eye contact, ...and then we could help them to improve, yet this was quite hard. We succeeded, at last. However, this was costly; by the time we finished, there were only 2 more sessions left, and we hadn't started to help them in their acting!
We are now urgently trying to finish everything on time before their actual performance next week. Hope it's going to be fine ... [-o<
