An Experiment in Education

The best programme on TV last night was the first episode of a new series about education, and it was     1     on a farm. But this farm is not for animals it's for children. The farm has been converted into a school for one class of difficult students. And it's the job of one man to try and teach these students something in the two weeks they are there.

The class is a group of 16 boys and girls aged 13 and 14, who have all been expelled（被逐） from schools at least once. Their previous teachers said that they were "     2     "and, judging by their behavior in the programme last night, it isn't hard to see why. The teacher who has to deal with this class is 40-year -old Philip Beadle. Before working in education, Mr. Beadle     3     in a rock band? He gave up music eight years ago to become teacher. At his first school, he helped his students to get the best English marks the school had ever seen. As a result, he was made Schoolteacher of the Year.

In the programme last night, we saw the students have their first lesson with Mr. Beadle. He started by playing a game, where he and the students     4    at each other and said something funny about the other person. This might not sound very     5     but it caught everyone's attention. After that, Mr. Beadle took his class outside for an English lesson. At their previous schools, most of these students     6    to read in front of their classmates, so Mr. Beadle took them to a(n)     7     to read to some cows. Each student read a(n)     8     quote from a Shakespeare play to them, and the students seemed to enjoy it. In the next scene, Mr. Beadle took them to another field to teach them basic punctuation. He did this through another game where he asked the students to jump around clap their hands and shout, "question mark!" and "semicolon!" Everyone seemed to enjoy this strange way of learning By the end of the episode the students were indeed starting to accept their new teacher. Some of them even said he was "all right".

I really enjoyed this show because the teacher had such a positive     9    on the students. If, like me, you are     10    by this experiment in education, you will want to the whole series. Personally, I can't wait to see what happens next!
