This Week's First Drama

This is the first drama we will be working with this week. The students will receive it in class and it is here so they can practice it at home. This is a talk between two teachers and it should help the students understand some of their new and old words a little better.

Mr. Sean: Hi Mr. Jon. It’s nice to talk to you. I missed you so much. All the new teachers are very mean.

Mr. Jon: What do they do that is mean?

Mr. Sean: They always take my shekels. Sometimes they hit me. They are not nice at all. I feel like crying. Waaaaaaaaa.

Mr. Jon: Are the students still nice? I miss Ata and Dania. Dania was a very good girl and Ata was very rich. Sometimes Ata would give me shekels and say “Buy yourself a present Mr. Jon.”

Mr. Sean: He does that for me too. He gives me 50 shekels every week and I give him As on all the tests. I don’t like to sell tests but I am so poor. I don’t have any money for food.

Mr. Jon: Why don’t you have money Mr. Sean?

Mr. Sean: I don’t have money because Palestinian Ahmed keeps taking it. He is so violent he scares me. Now I feel like crying again. Waaaaa. I can’t fight him because I am so peaceful.

Mr. Jon: There is a big table in the class. You can use that to hit Ahmed.

Mr. Sean: I can’t do that Mr. Jon. I am very weak and the table is so heavy. Only Ahmed is strong enough to pick it up. Sometimes he uses it to hit the other Ahmeds. He is a very mean boy.

Mr. Jon: Why don’t you pick up something lighter to use against Ahmed?

Mr. Sean: I am too scared. He is really crazy Mr. Jon. All the students are scared of him. Even Miqdam is scared and he is almost as crazy as Ahmed.

Mr. Jon: I am very sorry but I am happy you are not crazy. Is everyone else in the class sane?

Mr. Sean: Yes there are no other crazy students. There are some who do dangerous things though. Zeina loves to drive her car very fast.

Mr. Jon: That is dangerous. How did Zeina get a car? She is only a little girl.

Mr. Sean: She bought it from Ms. Zeina. Little Zeina is very rich. Sometimes she drives with her eyes closed.

Mr. Jon: That is dangerous. Driving with your eyes open is the safe way to drive.

Mr. Sean: I know Mr. Jon. Zeina is so rich she thinks if she crashes the car she can just buy a new one and extra cars for all her friends.

Mr. Jon: I hope that Zeina doesn’t hurt herself or her car. You have to be very careful if you are going to do dangerous things.
