Our Role-Play

Monday (05/06/2010)
a) Recap: Flashcards
· A revision of the words we have been learning. These included: rabbit, snail, bat, bear and etc.

b) Our Story
· We recapped a little of our story “Save the cub”. I have written their ideas into a dialogue form. Thus, we read through the story together. As we were reading, some were smiling and already had the imagination in their head. They read along with me with expression!

c) Choose the cast!
· The kids got to make their decision of choosing the cast they wanted to perform.
· They are as follows:
Brown Bear – Zhe Qing. Cub – Shi Jie. Snake – Wei Jeen.
Cat – Chia Yen and Kwong Yong. Dog – Natalie and Yan Shan.
Woodpecker – Xing Tong, Yun Xin. Porcupine – Jun Hong. Firefly – Devin, Zheng Yuan.
Elephant – Foo Soon, Chun Kit. Vet – Qian Joe. Vet – Yun Wen.
Wind – Wee Hong. Wind – Zhi Feng.

d) Let’s perform!
· Hooray! The kids chose their own props. They chose their own clothes of various colours. Then, we started performing. I was the narrator at the moment. I guided them with the short dialogues. I was focusing more on the expressions so that they could feel the story well. They enjoyed themselves. Jun Hong kept asking if we are going to perform for parents or anyone. The kids said maybe we could perform for the other kids in school. Well, it depends whether they are serious with this performance. The kids asked if they could make masks for themselves. We shall be doing that soon.
