3 A note to teachers Our dear fellow teachers, In the workpack you are about to start using you will find a series of activities to be used with your students both before and after watching the BAP play of your choice. You will find that most of the activities have been graded according to levels, which might imply age or language development or both. You will also come across different types of activities, which in most cases we have decided to categorize as follows: The Story; Characters; Words, Words, Words!; Grammar & Structures; Drama Games & Activities. In many cases, however, as in the classroom and in life, categories tend to merge and combine and evolve, so that one activity may lend itself to something else. Towards the end of the pack you will see the Teacher s Corner, where we have grouped some ideas we felt like sharing with you alone, and not with all your students. All these are simply suggestions. You are the one who knows your students, so please feel free to play around with this workpack as much as you want to. Have a magical BAP experience, and do let us know what worked best for you and your students! All our love, The Teachers Team 2
