The prom
Kick-off
High school students have a prom at the end of the school year. Why is this an important event?
Make notes on what you know, then watch Sydney and her mother talking about her prom.
Your turn to role-play
Sydney is leaving home to go to college in a few days time. What are her thoughts and feelings? What are her parents thinking? Write a conversation between Sydney and her mother. Act it out with a partner.
