凌哥英语(Linglish),值得置顶的英语公众号
没有华丽的舞台,没有炫彩的灯光,没有专业的导演,甚至——没有充足的彩排时间。因为,活动分组、剧本改编、角色分配、表演彩排,全部在短短的40分钟内完成。
但是,所有的节目,都是由学生们自己编、导、演。导演是怎么出来的呢?随机指定,还记得那个随机抽取学生的口诀吗?(Eeney meney miney mo, touch the tiger by the toe, out you go.)
凌哥是微笑着看完整个视频的。欣赏之余,向您深入介绍一下教学整个过程,抒发一下自己的思考。
在前一天,凌哥布置了任务:
Tomorrow we will act out this play. You can bring some things to the classroom. But don't bring your bed here. Just some small things.
从录像中可以看到,有学生拿来了“镜子”和苹果。有学生就地取材,用上了饮料瓶、椅子和扫帚。
屏幕上的图片,是凌哥趁学生在活动的时候,从网上找的。
因为是改编戏剧,学生回家需要先认真阅读原文。
凌哥只用了一个问句,就激活了学生对改编短剧的欲望:
Do you want to watch the same play for three times?
学生都回答No。
So maybe you can act Snow Black or Snow Brown tomorrow.
关于活动的分组,凌哥是挺纠结的。因为按照通常的分组原理,“应该”是组间同质、组内异质。但是,这世界上有多少是“应该”的事情呢?难得突破一下行不行?
对这个问题的批判性思考,主要是考虑“组内异质”时,较弱的学生通常会"被参与",其主动性就难以激发起来。而且,在整个过程中,他可能会表现出自卑。
其次,短剧表演,和其他学习型活动有不同之处,即便是没有多少语言的剧本,也可以表演得很精彩。从培养学生的核心素养来说,这是非常重要的。不能因为语言能力稍弱,将忽视了他们的创意能力、合作能力、表演能力。
所以,凌哥打破了常规,随机指定组长(导演),然后让组长招兵买马。这样一来,第一组的组长,自然“收罗”了语言能力最强的成员。而第三组的组长本人在语言能力上就不太强了。
在活动过程中,第三组的组长一度想要辞职,还有组员想要独立门户。都被凌哥No了:First, you are a group. You must work together. Second, everybody must listen to the group leader and help the group leader.
结果怎么样呢?从录像中,大家可以发现,恰恰是第三组表演的时间最长,而且对原文的改编也非常多。
信任学生,鼓励学生,相信学生的才能,全面评价学生,真的很重要!
凌哥只提出了问题:What's a good play like?三个回答都是来自于学生的。
1. 表现情感。
2. 表现新意、趣味性等。
3. 使用新、不同的、难的词句。
可见,学生自己对戏剧表演也是有自己的想法的。
然后,凌哥对组长提出要求:Make sure that your plays are like that.
凌哥反思一下,觉得除了new / different / difficult,还应该提出一个right的要求,并安排语言能力最强的几位学生检查剧本。
(讨论剧本:男孩蹲,女孩坐。非常绅士!)
让每个孩子都上台表演,这是一件困难的事情。对于校级的大型活动来说,挑选演员是为了保证演出效果。但是,作为班级的学习活动,全员参与的意义不容质疑。如果将孩子排除在活动之外,对他个人的成长是非常大的打击。甚至还会影响他的人格形成,——因为被排除、被孤立了。
凌哥以前接受老外培训的时候,他说,对于非常弱的孩子,我们要用宽容的心态。他举了一个例子:有一次班级活动,他安排最弱的孩子扮演一棵不用说话的树。因为道具是孩子自己准备的,所以那个孩子就制作了一棵很漂亮的树,他站在树干里面,双臂还能伸出来挥动“树枝”。
在这个活动中,凌哥原则上只允许旁白(narrator)朗读。有的孩子比较弱,问凌哥:我能不能也读?凌哥回答:You can write on a piece of paper or on your hand. Look and say, but don't read.(你可以写在纸上或者手上,看一下再说,但是不要读)从录像中可以看到,有几位孩子的确尝试这样做了。当然,也有非常弱的孩子,还是在读的。也没事啊,他/她勇敢地参与了啊,她知道什么时候该上场了、该自己开口了啊。——这也符合最近发展区(PDZ)的理论的。如果不是40分钟,而是80分钟,甚至120分钟,有时间多排练几次,相信这些孩子也能脱稿的。
大家想一想,很多联欢会的节目主持人,用的是母语,手里还要捧一本台词稿的,对于只有40分钟来编导演的孩子,也不能全部高要求啊。
(排练,“公主”的脏活累活我来干)
从录像中,可以看到凌哥邀请了两位学生对表演做了点评。(现场提问的时候,没有拍,所以是补拍的。但是语言内容没有改变。)
最终,凌哥做了点评,评价了三组表演中我看到的亮点。最后的掌声送给谁呢?
Group one and group two had the strong students. So Mr Ling was worried about group three. I had thought they couldn't even finish the play. But actually, they finished the play and the play was very funny. It's a big surprise. So I think they are the greatest.
(译文:第一组和第二组有强悍的学生。所以凌老师担忧第三组。我原本以为他们可能完不成。而事实上他们完成了,而且表演得很滑稽。太让人惊讶了!我觉得他们是最great的。)
作为作业,让学生将本组的剧本根据回忆写下来,允许学生修改情节和文字。通过后续任务,进一步培养创造性思维!
【附4位学生写的剧本】
写Play One的詹逸凡同学,没有凭记忆写自己小组的剧本,而是大幅度改编出一个故事。里面竟然还出现了Siri(苹果手机的语音助手)。剧本中使用了很多不常用的词。
Play Two,选择了三位学生的剧本。这三位同学尽管写的是同一组,但是认真比较就会发现,他们使用的语言是各不相同的。其中,张雨菲的剧本就是表演的蓝本。
为了保持原汁原味,凌哥除了大小写没有做任何修改。有的孩子在尝试没有学到过的内容时,会出现语言错误,这是正常的。
