Blog 1 “Who are you and why are you taking this course”
  This is my first Blog that I’m doing for IB literature & performance class and I would like to start it with introducing myself. My name is Ivan Kapkov, I’m from Russia this, this is my third year in Cheshire Academy and this year I’m Junior. This is my first year playing Varsity soccer after 2 years of playing in Jv soccer. This year  is the biggest year for high school student and this year is the year when I need to work ass hard as it possible.

The first interesting fact about me is  as I said I play soccer, and soccer for me is not only a game or strategy it’s also what I might do in future as my full time job. I’m not only interested in playing this sport but I’m also interested in volunteering on the biggest event that is going to happen in Russia in 2018 “Fifa World Cup 2018”. This job can give the experience that I will carry for a long time and that going to help me after graduating high school and college.


Second interesting fact about me is that I started my high school in America as a freshman in Cheshire academy. It was a hard times for me because it was my first time studying abroad, it was my first time having such a diverse school community. Sometimes I missed my family as other students do but I overcame  through this by learning, getting new experience and new friendships. After four & half months of studying in Cheshire academy 

I was obligated to live school because of my family problems. My sophomore year I came back and continued education in Cheshire Academy, and it will be an honor to graduate here.  

Last interesting fact about me is that I spent more time in America than I do in Russia. Wheel is obvious that I go to school in US but I also live here and stay here for most of my breaks because my family has a house in NYC. This city and this country because a big part of me and my second home, because from what I experienced and learned this will be one of the biggest part of my life. From what everybody heart that Russia and America do not have good relationships, but from my experience in both my country and America  triad international students and tourist great and respectful.



Finally, I’m taking this class because I’m interested in taking something new and something that I have never experienced, as I said I came to this country for new experience so this class one of them. Also I took this class because I have problems with reading, my problem is that i can’t start reading book or I just can’t make myself do that so I think his class can help me with that. I really happy and excited about this class and what this class can give me.

Review “The Caucasian Chalk Circle”

Ivan Kapkov IB Literature & Performance Ms. Guarino Review  “The Caucasian Chalk Circle” On Friday 11/11/17 I visited a play that was adapted by my classmates. The name of the play is “The Caucasian Chalk Circle” by Bertolt Brecht written in 1944 while he was living in America. Interesting fact about the performance is that it was initially made for Broadway, but the play didn’t go that far so students started presenting it in their schools and colleges. The play was initially translated by Eric Bentley. This play is based on the aftermath of WWII, in which the “villagers” are complaining on who will control the valley . This play focuses on an act of true love and courage performed by a servant girl named Grusha Vachnadze and how she is judged by society regarding to her choices. There are two parts of the story: Part I is the story of Grisha's lifestyle and the difficult choices she must make to survive with the baby, while Part II follows and explains the care...
