Grace and the Double Life

 This story is about a girl's band, The Garage Girls. The main character, Grace, had a secret from her parents: she didn't tell them she belonged to a band group. This is because her mother, Harriet, used to be very strict. She wanted Grace to concentrate on her music and ballet exams. Grace could play all the classical stuff; however, she wanted to play something new. One day, her friends, Zadie and Holly, invited her to a new girl's band to play a bass guitar. It was great playing with her friend.  At first. her mother didn't allow Grace to do band. The more she knows Grace's effort, the more she cheers up her child. Girls decided to send their music DVD to the TV company which held a talent contest. They wanted to win and dreamed of being stars! However, Harriet found out Grace’s secret. To make matters worse, Grace lost her voice on the day of the audition. This story is about relationship of parents and children and dream.  

As a connector, I checked whether it was really good to upload the video taken in the school to the net without their permission. Specifically, we investigated what laws are exposed to the Internet and what happens if it is Japanese law.

Also, as an artistic advisor, I drew pictures of the instruments they were using and described their characteristics.

 

In this literature circle, we discussed what to do if I were Grace. Grace had to choose between taking the piano exam or going TV contest. We had various opinion for this theme. If I were her, I would have auditioned for TV too. Because, as she says, you can take a piano test at any time.

 

We had good discussion because of everyone’s work. We hope we can do it again. 

The condition of the machine was bad at this time, and it was not possible to participate from the middle. When we can go to school normally, I want to have a discussion with the same members again.
