The audio is terrible, couldn't figure out why...sorry!
This is the first chapter of the novel. The scene where a little girl, Edie, was trampled on by the evil Mr Hyde.
I told the students to just act as if Mr Hyde stepped on the girl. I didn't realize that 'Mr Hyde' had actually kicked and stepped on 'Little Edie' until I replayed the video and heard the other students muttered "Dia buat betul-betul!" (means he had really stepped on his friend). I scolded the boy and ordered him to apologize, but the 'victim' only replied "Ala...main-main je, Teacher" (means they are just joking around). Boys are boys! They really test my patience!
The students look very tickled by their acting. It was good that they were able to put up a presentation although they did not seem very confident.
ReplyDeleteThis is the best group among the rest. They managed to simpify the chapter and rewrite the dialogues into their own words.The other groups took out the dialogues from the book and only read them out.
ReplyDeleteyes, they look happy and enjoyed the activity! And it was good to know that this group has managed to prepared their 'own' dialogues as this could be ease them to memorise the lines and more fun to perform.
ReplyDeleteI remembered when I was teaching in school, we handled a drama competition among all form 4 classes, where they were given a chapter from Bukit Kepong novel. It was so fun, and they were so creative in such a way that it attracted the audiences with their acting, as well as spontaneous jokes they made on the stage.
Eventhough they produced they own dialouges, but the plot was still maintained and at the end of the competition, they admitted that they enjoyed the dramas and claimed that they could memorise the novel better!
Their performance was refereed by three 'judges' - all were teachers from our school of course, but when it was carried out like a 'real' competition,I could see their determination to win, therefore they gave out their 100% commitment :)
What about others? do you have such experience of this kind? do share with us!
I am teaching some of the students this year. 4PTS now
