I'm going to be teaching 8 of my middle school students a play over the next couple of months. However, I am at a loss. I'm not familiar with many plays. Their English levels are quite low, but I found that with the right motivation, this is not much of a deterrent for them. I was wondering if anybody knows of any plays and/or websites that might be helpful in my conquest of creating the first Korean Denzel Washington.

Thanks!~

Hey there - I teach the drama class at my school and we're doing Summer Nights from the musical Grease. It's a lot of fun to teach and would be perfect for eight students if they don't mind doing a bit of singing. Here are the lyrics and parts if you want them:

(I started out doing it as a listening excercise).

I would love to do things like that but I can't see where the students will get the time to do it.

Yu_Bum_Suk,

Great idea. I think that would really be a lot of fun. I live/teach in a very country side of Korea, and our school is really small. Singing on top of acting might prove to be a little difficult for my students, but I'm curious as to how open they might be to it. Naturally, I want to make sure that whatever I chose to have them do will be something they would enjoy doing since we will be working on it for a while.

Many thanks for the idea, if you have any others please let me know!

[mrsquirrel]

I think it's oxford books has a great ESL resource section where you can find plays for some of it's classic fairy stories.

I will have a dig around and see.

It's OUP

Might let you in if not register for free and you get a load of plays for the classic tails

I think we're going to do a skit on the social pressures young teenagers experience from their peers, teachers and parents.

I was thinking, "Daddy is a prostitute because you don't study enough."

Sorry they don't work

You need to sign up for the OUP website

It's something like

Oh, and another thing...

I was just curious if you created the layout for the Grease play, or if you found it somewhere online?

Once the kids perform the play, how will you have the music play without lyrics, and what happens if a student forgets his/her line even for a couple seconds? Would you stop the music or just have them continue?

I would really like to consider doing this as well, but being this is my first time to teach something like this, I am a bit uncertain about some of the details of execution.

Try reader's theater. There are a few easy skits here on this site that the students can perform:

Profile ddeubel on this site and his webpage has a few skits as well.
