During our visits to public and private schools in the Rabat and Sale districts, we were treated to an English classes rendition of Katie Perry's "Fireworks". The students did an amazing job and seemed to love singing this pop song.
At the American Language Center in Rabat, these students were playing a competitive game to increase vocabulary and comprehension. Students come to the Center after a full day of school to learn and improve their English. I was told that many students seek to learn English because it is the dominant language of technology, one key to an education and better life.
In Beni Mellal, my host teacher's city, my American colleagues and I presented at a district teachers' professional development. This teacher stayed after the presentation to look at and comment on our JSEC's peace flags. He even took one of the cloth pieces to create his own wishes for peace. Thank you sir!
The following photos are evidence of a great visual art program at the private school, G.S. KAD, where Fatemazzahra Massaq, my host teacher, also teaches. She leads a very busy and full life.
Some of the pieces of art work contained topics of social concern. This piece was created for Woman's Day which is observed nationally.
In our host teacher's class, they were improving their English by producing a production of King Lear. I was honored to be asked to help with staging, revising some stage combat scenes, and adding a period finale dance (Farandole).
