Let’s Party!

Darby 1

ETA Darby Jones’ 11th grade English classes have been an absolute party this past month – literally! For the last lesson in the Party Time unit, Darby’s classes planned and executed their own party during class time. Together, students chose a theme, made decorations, developed a program for the party, dressed up, and brought food and drinks to share. The results were absolutely amazing.

Most parties started with a prayer and speeches from students and Darby and her counterpart. Special dance, singing, and storytelling performances by students were the highlights of every party. One class threw a Halloween party complete with lights, ghost and bat decorations, and Halloween music.

Darby shared some American culture with her students by teaching them popular line dances from the US and passing out candy she brought from home. It was a true cultural exchange as students shared traditional food from around Indonesia with Darby. Overall, everyone had a great time, and students enjoyed the challenge of using their English outside of a traditional educational setting. The special event encouraged even some of the quietest students to participate and practice their English in a safe and fun setting.

Darby Jones is currently teaching at SMAN 2 Sangatta Utara, East Kalimantan
