Phileas Fogg
What are my feelings about this morning, when the Phileas Fogg came? The first word that comes up in my mind is probably impressive. The way she told us how the war must have been was almost scary, it felt like it was very close. Especially at the end, the last poem shocked us all, we all imagined how many people must have died in that terrible war. I think it’s a good way to teach history like this, because you’re one of them, you need to know how they must have felt.
If I had to make a comment, I would say; why don’t we do this far more often? I think the two actors could teach it way better this way than our usual history teacher can. And secondly, it was way too short! We were finished in about one and a half hour, we were all sorry it had finished so quickly.
What I also liked was the very positive mood at the beginning; ‘they would be back for Christmas’ and ‘fight for their country’, and they would all become heroes. At the end, none of this was left, everything was covered in terror of everything that had happened in the trenches, and all because of only a few meters of land.
