rabble is on a distinguished road
Default Re: suitable plays for low intermediate/false beginner

I have done The Wizard of Oz a couple of times. I showed the students the movie and I did a simple script, with the songs. It didn't really work well, to be honest. The movie is too long and simplifying it didn't make sense.
God I hate it when the students do Shakespeare though and simplify the language.

I have to teach adults a performance tomorrow. Their English is very basic I have just taken over the class, the other teacher was fired.

I have decided on blind date. I have the props, blind fold with big red hearts attached the blindfold
I get the girl up first and then get 3 men to "volunteers".
I keep the questions simple and I have these big red hearts for the chosen one each time he has the preferred answer.
It works well and you can get the audience involved.
