DRAMA SCRIPTS
These are two of the drama scripts I've created with some of the students' ideas in them. Being in a rural school, I believe the children should be given a lot of opportunities to come out with their own way of seeing things, no matter what kind of language or means that they'll be able to convey their ideas... thus, I always honour my children's ideas by putting a few of them here and there in the scripts.. but of course, judges in competitions wouldn't buy scripts from rural schools because they KNEW those weren't done by the students....and sometimes, I got pissed because our scripts were so damn GOOD, the judges didn't give a damn about us too...they must give the urban or city schools the first and second placing since they thought the scripts were totally written by the students themselves.... well, so ARE OUR SCRIPTS... I wrote the children's words, for God's sake... why can't they see that???
I've learnt so much while in the process of writing up scripts for them...they (the school kids) have never fail to amaze me. ..the disability to communicate in proper English language would always create 'broken' English and I corrected them with one ability I've yet to conquer fully through my years of teaching...being humble with the children's world view of the language. The more I tried to increase their fluency, the more difficult it becomes for them to master the second language especially in class... maybe, it's because of the formal surrounding that made them conscious of the way they speak...but when it comes to dramatizing....they can be very creative with the scripts.
So, here..... you can print and improvise them if you want..but bear in mind, the scripts are very Iban (natives) seasoned....the people, the thoughts, the place, the culture... and the story lines are mostly about the natives and their struggle to defend their ancestors' land from being corrupted by foreigners... the best script we've ever written was "Looking for the Sengalang Burung" adapted from Bessie Head ~ the Rain God...
