A couple of weeks ago, we spent a couple of days trying out a new experience: being in class but from another perspective. Our classmates were, for barely 10 minutes, our students.

The process involved choosing a clip from an English-speaking comedian, extracting its useful and slightly advanced vocabulary and creating a worksheet for the rest to fill in.

For me, the experience was interesting; I would’ve probably been a bit more nervous if it had been in front of the entire year, but it was only in front of 4 students.

I found out what it is to look for activities which are useful but also seem interesting and realised, a bit more, the effort put in by our teachers behind every single activity they plan, no matter how difficult or easy they are.

For the next time, it would be even better if the experience lasted a bit longer to make it more real.

But, alll in all, I think the five of us enjoyed each other’s presentations and that the idea was very refreshing.
