This year the Destination Imagination( DI) 1st Grade English club named themselves the Superpowers. The challenge for these Rising Stars was to create a play by themselves, design their own costumes, design their own props and a map that they would use in their play.
NİCOLA SARN- YEŞİM ÜZÜM DESTINATION IMAGINATION CLUB
SUPERPOWERS!
The students spent the first few weeks of the year practicing and learning about instant challenges. Then they started working on the play. First the students discussed in Turkish what characters they wanted to be in the play. They chose to be a Native American, cookie monster, Spiderman, a princess, a mermaid, a pilot, golden ninja, clumsy ninja, and a super hero.
The students then decided where their play would taking place— a Cesme beach wedding. They knew that the DI requirements for their play asked them to have them travel to different destinations and have a conflict about where to go and use their map in the show. The students then came up with the plot of the play. The decided they would argue about going to Lego Land or Minion World. They would agree as a group to go to Lego Land and take the train to get there. At the train station they would see a big woman getting on the train. As the woman got on the train she would make a hole through the train to the underworld and a monster would explode out of the woman. To save the world they would have to go to the underworld and make a trap with her meat and bones to catch the monster and save the world.
Our SEV students were the only ones at the DI tournament who performed their play in English. They made their own costumes, map and elements of their set. We are very proud that they followed the rules of the DI tournament and also did such a great job performing in English.
