4 . News of the upcoming English Talent Show aroused the interest of my roommates and inspired us to perform.    1     First, we chose the drama The Villains Lair, featuring the most iconic Disney villains as they plot their revenge. We wrote our script based on The Villains Lair, added amusing lines into the story and named it Villains' Tea Party. In the play, Godzilla comes to a tea party uninvited and guests try to decide whether the character is a villain.     2       We also drew inspiration from the animated film, Wreck-It Ralph 2.

We designed the settings and made most of the stage props by ourselves.     3     We even woke up early to rehearse acting onstage. Of course, we couldn't avoid arguing during the preparation over the lines and acting style. Thanks to our outspoken personalities, we dealt with many problems directly.

In fact, we thought we would be very nervous when we stood onstage, but we weren't. Though we carelessly broke a glass when we set the stage, we still completed the performance in a relaxing and calm way.     4     We had great success. Through this activity, we experienced the strength of cooperation and learned how to overcome difficulties.    5    

Sincerely Yours,

Li Hua

10 . Haley Curfman, 25, of Blackwell, Oklahoma, is a teacher at Blackwell Public School and last year she bought a plain(朴素的) white dress, which she set up a station in her classroom for her students to decorate, encouraging them to go and draw on the dress whenever they had free time. Haley set up a station at a table with the dress and some colored markers so that her students could draw on it, having first seen the idea on Pinterest.

After the kids had finished the design, she then surprised them all by wearing the dress to class, sharing pictures of herself in it on Facebook in a post that has since been shared over 200, 000 times.

For teachers looking to do something similar for their own students, Haley said that she bought the dress off Amazon for less than $ 20 about six months ago and pre-washed the dress before she started the project. She used markers from Walmart. But she said these things can be bought in other places. She said, “To do the project, I set up a station at a table with the dress and markers. It takes anywhere from two weeks to a month to complete as we just work on it here and there when time allows. You'd better give the students enough time so they don't have to hurry.”

“Teachers have been sharing their dresses, T-shirts, etc. with me that they've been creating since the 1950s with the same idea. It is amazing, and I love the fact that you are sharing them with me! Thank you all so much for your kindness and support,” she wrote on Facebook.

Asked why she came up with the idea, Haley told Scary Mommy. “We don't have art in our school, so, I always try to do little creative projects when possible.”
