and you know what it's time no voice is part. of the 77 percent it's all about the issues. this is where. the 77 percent this weekend on d w. played. i had a really hard time in school. emma norris is dyslexic and was always an outsider at school. but that's all supposed to change now that she's attending the 1st to school after school in whole grow denmark. each week a new role play is part of the curriculum every pupil takes part and it's incorporated into every subject the school's concept no student gets left behind.

so that it can we have some food oh sure serve the baroness 1st. the school's 85 pupils and their teachers stay in the game they remain in character even while eating lunch their current role play is called the testament and english teacher plays the pastor has his punishment is a pardon amen. that's why all this. woman was hatched children and she is invited to this whole family party but the family does not know why they are invited they don't know and by. the elderly baroness westfield also played by a teacher has invited her relatives to visit her one last time. emma norris has

only been going to the mr sculp school for a few weeks. beginning the 8th grade the danish school system allows people to attend independent boarding schools for up to 3 years. many of these schools have a special focus. now you can buy one to tell you why we're all here today the only. one and now. and now. this school employs live action role play as a way to teach the curriculum it calls this mix of acting theater and interaction learning games. this role play covers the legal aspects of a will come plex family constellations and the highs and lows of human life. then emma goes to a relatively ordinary class still the role play continues. i need someone from the

other family. time and again pupils are taken out of class to participate in this discourse and it has her english lesson not an easy subject for someone with dyslexia far. from his and her previous school emma struggled and felt she was left to cope on her own. her self-esteem suffered a major blow. over i was very very shy and i didn't want to speak up for myself i. didn't have any friends and i was on shore if i was good enough if i was spreading. if i was clever enough to be in a school. at the end of the lesson someone slips them a mysterious document. this is the document which might tell us why we're here so we're trying to figure out what it means. has

a parent being questioned on suspicion of murder. like emma many of the esther school of pupils felt like outsiders at their former schools you were in a sort of. friend west oh yes yes yes some students have learning disabilities a.d.h. d. or autism spectrum disorder others are gifted and many have experienced bullying. but employing role play in regular lessons helps all pupils says teacher andreas miller. everything we do is to motivate the students to want to learn something and they're not learning something because they have to go to an exam or because mother or father or the society says so they're learning it because they want to learn and we made a record in games or in funny hats or whatever but they're usually very motivated and there are certain types of students who just don't fit in to modern school life

that really benefits from having something that is much more direct and much more like tangible tangible form and doesn't mean you can't teach really complex matters it just means that you have to you have to wrap it in a way where the nearness makes sense in its own right. learning that makes sense emma wants to sing its praises for the 1st time she's made friends your own age they've just taught her to play the piano. and.

that specially also says something about play and how you just for a moment escape from reality and take some time for yourself and i think that's maybe why i could make so much of this so ima has regularly taken part in live role play events for the last 8 years. the 17 year old spends her allowance on costumes for her slipping into another persona is a release. i felt like i wasn't allowed to cry. therefore i just. had all these feelings inside but then i got through role play and i put on a final dress and i do so want to make all for something and then i play

at this girl who has lost her mother and then i will settle out crying because it was a role play. one week later the entire school has traveled to germany for a field trip to vin destroy the castle interior and. become an overnight in the hopes her fellow pupils put on make up for an elaborately staged role play though there is no audience. for. what you might miss it if you go overseas and you go. there had to go doing. it all this helps new pupils like emma better integrate into the school community says teacher in game master morton care gore. as it turns out he gets a standing inside of hollow here don't fulfill production work standing right about
