Expect the Unexpected

This is a video of a sketch acted by Form 3 students on a chapter in 'Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde' novel. These students are from the 5th class in the form. There are 32 students in the class with 10 girls and the rest are boys. So you can imagine how it is like where the boys rule!

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!
