Student Activities | CELOP Clubs
The Student Activities Coordinator, Shelley Bertolino, organizes several clubs where students gather in small groups after class to talk about movies or short stories. Not all of these clubs are offered every semester.
The Short Story Club
 Once a week, students meet to discuss the assigned story. Every week we read a different author and try to have a variety of topics and genres so there is something for everyone! This semester we read satires, mysteries, romances and more! Students discuss the stories, learn new vocabulary and watch accompanying movies.
Some of the authors we read are Shirley Jackson, Ernest Hemingway and Dorothy Parker. Each session begins with student questions about vocabulary, followed by a discussion of the story, and ending with some type of activity. For example, after reading “The Red-headed League” (a Sherlock Holmes Mystery by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle) students were given their own short mysteries to solve.
Every student who solved the case they were given won a great new mystery novel to help further improve their skills. This is a great way to get to know popular short stories and practice your English skills!
Free Friday Movies
 The Free Friday Movies provide students with a fun way to relax after a week of studying hard in their classes. Popular movies are shown (with subtitles) on a wide screen to help CELOP students practice their English skills while learning about American culture through film. It is a great way for students to increase their vocabulary and improve their listening skills! All students in all levels are welcome to enjoy the movies and free refreshments every Friday!
