English Wall - 6th

The Alien Grammar Show is the story of an Alien who is on Earth for a very limited period of time, looking for her children Blip and Blop. She is being chased however by two intergalactic agents (Men in Black) who want to catch her and kill her. Both the alien and the agents need help from the audience and so this fast-paced and very funny story is also extremely interactive. The teaching element of the show is introduced when we discover that aliens have trouble making questions in English. There is a period of testing to discover who isn't and who may be an alien, if anybody can make good question then they clearly are not an alien.
