École Évangéline: First Project

Évangéline region

Contact person: Monique Mainville
Artist(s) involved: Lynn Gaudet, Sylvie Toupin, Denis Robert and Louise Arsenault
Project Title: On est tous dans le même bâteau

This project included a play on Canadian heros and the publication of
sketches written by students, which will be used as teaching tools, and
to create a memory book. Students were involved in all the steps leading
to a stage production, including research on Canadian heros, research
on Canadian geography with the teacher, drawing up a series of oral
expression activities to pave the way, collective writing of the play,
learning different technical aspects : self-criticism, writing songs and
sketches, and making small books with the teacher.

From the creation process to the research for the play, and from the set up to the staging, I felt that the students were deeply committed. Their energy and contribution not only in their own roles, but in the whole project was great. In this beautiful adventure, they fulfilled a great challenge and sailed straight to success.
