CREATIVE DRAMA On 11 April, 2014, GKV CemilAlevli students, along with students from the secondary school Drama Club, presented a brilliant performance of Harry Potter: The Sorcerer’s Stone. Many parents were in attendance, along with teachers and administrators. Due to the excellent cooperation between the two departments and the hard work of our teachers and students who participated, there was a lot of enthusiasm for the project. CemilAlevli students spent 40 CAS hours and provided all the technical support, including sound and lighting effects, stage decorations, costumes, props, script modifications, and English speaking coaching. Some of them even had small parts in the play. The end result was an entertaining and praiseworthy performance. Additionally, the aim of the CAS portion of the project was met by encouraging students to work collaboratively, undertake new challenges, and develop new skills.- CAS Coordinator, OZLEM KARA PERSONAL REFLECTION ON HARRY POTTER CAS ACTIVITIY FACT FILE~ Turkey’s official name is the Republic of Turkey. It has been 6 months since we first met with Middle School Drama Club kids and I remember the day that we first started to work together. Time went on very quickly and during that time we got close to each other. Each of them is very friendly and sincere. The day we were going to present our theatre came and as usual we all were very excited and a bit apprehensive. After the theatre finished all faces were smiling and at the same time I could see that everyone was crying a bit inside just because we won’t work together again. I can say that it was literally the best activity that I have taken part in until now. - MUSTAFA ERBAĞCI C/9-A TREE PLANTING Trees are nature’s wonders. I cannot imagine life without oxygen. The plant world, animal world- in fact, the whole world, cannot live without oxygen. Carbon Dioxide makes our atmosphere and our environment poisonous for us. Trees expend this carbon dioxide and make oxygen and thereby make our environment safe for us. Trees help to reduce soil erosion and also help with water conservation. Trees increase biodiversity and provide habitat for wildlife. Trees filter pollution from the air, help recycle water, prevent soil loss, make food for humans and wildlife. – Ilayda Dayioglu PAGE 29
