Miss Hotty’s Teaching Notes 5: Bogor EduCARE Drama Contest
This meeting discussed about Movie. For the first, James asked the students their favorite movies, actors, actresses, and genres. Genre means types of movie students like. Next, he played Alphabetic game. The students were asked to mention the title of movies they knew beginning with A to Z. Then, James wrote the genres as follows: horror, romantic, comedy, thriller, action, documentary, animation, musical, adventure, sci-fi (science fiction), and spoof (serious movie turns to comedy).
The main activities were making a script and performing it in front of the others. When we wanted to make a script, James explained, there were three steps we must do. First, we should describe the scene. Second, we should have the names of the characters. Finally, we should make the dialogue. He, then, took an example from Titanic.
Scene : The boat is sinking.
Actors : Leonardo DiCaprio (Jack) and Kate Winslet (Rose)
Dialogue
Jack : I love you, Rose.
Rose : I love you, too, Jack.
Jack : I will never let go.
Rose : You are in my heart forever.
Jack lets go and sinks in the water.
The students, then, were divided into four groups. James gave them the genre to be played. Here they were:
Class : 2C
- Comedy : Cinderella and the Smell Socks.
- Romance : The Triangle Love
- Horror : Bloody Mary
- Action : Bull Soldiers
Class : 2F
- Action : Bad Boy
- Musical : Malin Kundang
- Horror : Spooky House
- Comedy : Strange Families
Watching their performance made us laugh. The students were really creative in making the script and dialogue. They could use their own imagination. Sometimes it was very strange. ^_^
You will never know your ability unless you have tried, right?
Well done, dear. You are great!
