Hillcrest High School
Rhonda had her learners read
a poem for homework and
comment about it on a specially created Facebook page.
Learners read each other’s comments and “likes”.
They were able to discuss the poem meaningfully in class the next day.
Pairs of learners learnt by heart a passage for two from their
Shakespeare play. They then acted it out (no costumes) and videoed
the performance. The videos were uploaded to YouTube.
Grade 12 learners had to recite and interpret one
of their exam poems. They could use costume and
drama to do this.
Their efforts were videoed and uploaded to YouTube for the class to see.
