Last Weekend, we asked the kids to do a little acting. We started by giving them a situation and also asking them what or who they wanted to act as. Then they themselves come up with the scenario, dialogue and story line.
For example, one group simulated an accident by having roles such as the driver, accident victim, ambulance personal and a policeman. The kids made up the storyline with help from the Facis, and the dialogue which was translated into English by the Facis. The Facis role was mostly to encourage them and translate their malay dialogue into english. Then they acted out the scene in front of the whole class as a group.
We didnt preasure them into remembering their lines as they were allowed to bring thier script with them. With the amazing exception of two boys who memorize their whole script, the rest all used notes. It was just a short performance by all of them with a basic storyline and every person has a role.
The main point of the lesson is to improve their pronounciation, translation, confidence and creative thinking as well as having fun.
