teen read week has been one of the most anticipated events of the school year at xavier. as a program of the english department, it aims at promoting the "lost art" of reading to xavierians. one of the highlights of this week is the "dress me a literary" event where teachers, and eventually students, are asked to wear a costume based on a literary character, preferably from a book that students can easily identify.
during the first edition of dress me a literary, i wore a pharaoh costume because the week actually coincides with our lesson on the book of exodus. since then, i was known to high 1 students as "pharaoh" especially to my first and second batch of students. the year later, i dressed up as darth vader to coincide with my advisory class' "star wars" concept.
personally, this is one of the things i will miss in xavier. it brings much excitement to see fellow teachers do some sort of "cosplay" at least once a year. though san jose has been notoriously known for its "costume party" masses, the practice was unfortunately "outlawed" after the first class sponsored mass of the year. well, we still have the annual picnic for all our costume making and wearing needs.
since today is "dress me a literary" day in xavier, here's my advisory class' performance in last year's culmination of teen read week!
