Alumni Social
Bring your family for movie night and join in on the fun! Join us for a fun evening with friends, family, and the Literacy Council community! We’ll watch “The Wild Robot” and enjoy activities that help you practice reading, writing, and speaking in creative ways.
You can:
• Win a free copy of The Wild Robot for your family
• Color and design your own robot
• Make a short video about what you understood from the movie (great for ESL beginners and basic literacy students)
• Try a story activity to explore different types of conflict in the movie (for ESL Intermediate, Advanced, and GED students)
• Use cool 4D zSpace technology to bring your learning to life
Meet other students and volunteers, and have a great time learning together! Email your RSVP to Kai McGhee.
