Fall Festival Presentation - Middle School

[scottee]

Hi All,

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post, but here goes:

In the middle of November we have our school festival and the principal wants a 3-4 minute presentation or skit from my extra English class.  I haven't had to do this before so I was wondering if anyone had any ideas of what my class could do for a few minutes. 

The only thing is, I teach at two schools and this festival is going to be on a day I will be at my other school.  They still want something though - so I'm all ears as to ideas~~

Thanks

I should also add:

This is for middle school girls.  I have about 20 students in the class but not everyone has to participate. They are at a pretty high level, but for this particular thing are not really motivated. 

The idea to get me to do this presentation is so that the students can practice when they have my after school class.

I think that fills in some blanks...

Try this skit. I adapted from the myriad camping skits kids have to do at camps.


Title: Dirty Dishes
Number of students: 5
Roles: Cook, Customer #1, Customer #2, Customer #3, Customer #4
Scene: The cook comes and puts a big pot of water on the table. In the pot there is a ladle. The cook then puts up a “Back in 10 minutes sign” and walks away.

Narrator: This scene is in a restaurant. A cook will put a pot on the table. He needs to go to the washroom so he puts a “Back in 10 minutes sign” and walks away. Let’s see what happens next. (Note: I suggest you also translate this into Korean so that the students in the audience have a sense of the context of the scene)

(Customer #1 and #2 enters the restaurant. Customer #1 decides to taste the “soup.”)
Customer #1: Ummm, this is very delicious. You must try this soup!
Customer #2: What? Let me have a taste. (after tasting the soup)You’re right! This is fantastic. (Pulls out his cellphone and calls his friend) Hello? James? I’m at a restaurant near your house. It has the most amazing soup. Come and try it. Hurry up! I’ll text the location to you.
Customer #3: (enters the restaurant) So where is this soup I’ve heard so much about?
Customer #1: Here it is. Have a taste.
Customer #3: Alright, alright. I’ll try it. (after trying the soup) Mmmm. Wow! This tastes amazing. It’s soooo delicious. I gotta call Lisa. She’s gonna love this.
Customer #4: OK, I’m here. What do you want?
Customer #3: Here, try this. (feeds his friend the soup). Mmmm. This is the most delicious soup I’ve ever had. What’s in it?
The Cook: (comes back) What are you doing?!
Customer #4: Oh you’re back. Did you make this? What’s in it? Beef? Pork? Chicken?
The Cook: (laughs and pulls out a pair of socks from the pot.)


Hope this helps.

Thanks a lot! 

That's pretty good. 

I'll run it by my students, I think they'll like it. 

Thanks again.
