Human meets Alien drama

2011-12-06T13:12:00.000+11:00

Seeing as the end of the year is coming up soon, Mr Chaffer and Kim, my teacher and my (Fantastic) student teacher, decided to give us a project. (Can't they see we've worked enough?) This project was about alien/s meeting human/s. (Did I mention it had to be a drama?) So we got into groups and started planing. (Yes! At last we get to chose our own groups!)
Just as we'd gotten into groups, me with Amber and Cleo, Kim clapped to get the classes attention. (It doesn't, by the way, it just gets us clapping.) When we were listening she talked this is what she said "You guys are doing great, but I just need to add one thing, you know how movies and dramas have props? Well we have our own too. The group that is the quietest will get to chose their prop first from this pile." (Or something like that) I scanned the pile. There was a mini-manikin, a polyester head, a cup, a plastic pineapple, a toy traffic light and a globe. When I looked at each prop I tried to think of how to use it. (ummm...) When I saw the globe it was quite easy to think of it in a play of aliens and humans, so when it came to our turn we talked and when we were all on the same page, we chose it. (Yippee!) Then got to work.
We decided how to use the globe and started writing. I wrote the Script, for the others and myself, all by myself. Though I didn't mind because I like writing and i had a good idea in my head.
Our play was about an evil alien (Amber) who wanted to blow up the world (Earth) and his assistant (me) who tried to stop him but gave up. They run out of fuel and crash-land on the moon, where they meet Neil Armstrong (Cleo). Evil Alien then ends up blowing himself up.

It was fun and there was only one sort of bad thing, one of my group members got stage fright, but got over it. All together it was fun, great and for all those parents who need thing for their kids to do through the holidays, it's a great activity.

Humans vs. Alien Reflection

On Friday Sara, Michelle and I performed our Human vs. Aliens Skit.

Sara was Christine (human), Michelle was Bloop (alien) and I was Melisa, Christine’s friend (human).

Before performing we all weren’t shy and scared so we didn’t have stage fright. The performance was great but I think I could have spoken more clearly. In the end it went fantastic. l think Sara did a great she was the best out of us three.

Alien + Humman drama

2011-12-06T13:04:00.003+11:00

The first time humans encounter aliens is going to be an exciting event. We tried to create a short drama about how it would happen. We got into groups of 3 and worked together to create our skit. Using only 1 prop the group created a play about a reverse alien invasion. We practiced a lot but I don’t think the final performance was good at all.

Humans Vs Alien Reflection

2011-12-06T13:04:00.002+11:00

The class got into groups and we had to do a play about humans meeting aliens for the first time.

Our play was about an astronaut who goes to an unmanned planet called Nebullon Maximus. After a while he sees an alien who unfortunately gets killed by the alien. 2 years later, two astronauts are sent up to find out what happened to the original astronaut who had been killed. When they were on Planet Nubullon Maximus they saw the evil alien holding the astronauts head. They asked the alien if it wanted to come back to earth. It didn’t

The next scene was 50 years later. The two astronauts were now old men having a cup of tea on the front porch. One of them asked the other do you remember the alien we discovered 50 years ago? “What did you say?” he answered. The other astronaut could not hear him so he asked him again and he answered “Yes I do remem.....” and then he died of old age.

I enjoyed this play I found it really fun.

Human and Alien meet

Human and Alien Drama

Intro:

At the 25^th of November we have to write a script about alien meet human. I was in a group with Sarah and Amber.

Middle:

Each group have to choose a plot to put into our script. Amber choose the globe without asking us so at the time we discussing, we had a little fight.

And when it was the second time that we write and practice our script, we haven’t finished writing our script so we didn’t practice that day.

The drama was about the two evil alien, Sarah and Amber are going to destroy the earth but their spaceship crash into the moon and they meet Neil arm strong if he want to be famous to “BLOW” the mind of people on earth. Neil arm strong believe him and get some food and tools to fix the space ship.

The evil alien give him the thing that can blow up the spaceship of the evil alien, before Neil arm strong go the evil alien warn him that do not press any button but he forgotten it all and he press the button and everyone know what happened. The space ship blow up and that is my favourite part, Neil arm strong turn around and said” wow! Firework! ”

When we were practicing, I really enjoy it.

End:

We go to the front of the classroom and Amber (who is the evil alien) stand at the centre and...She stop and now we know that she have stage fright, so Sarah go up and said to her” look over them, they are not here.” Then Amber started the drama.

When I was performing I was quiet nervous but at the end i felt relieved.

Cleo was Neil Armstrong and Sarah was dooby's assistant. My favourite part was when i said "Neil Strongarm" and then Cleo said "um...it's Armstrong" then I said "but you look like you have strong arms" then Cleo said "realy?" then I said "um...yeah". That was realy fun and fun to say

Aliens vs. Humans

2011-12-06T12:55:00.000+11:00

On Friday the 25th of november, we had to perform our alien short play. In the Alien play there were 3 rules.
Rule number 1 was that there must be 2 or 3 people in each group.
Rule number 2 we had to inclued a prop and finally
Rule number 3 we MUST have an Alien somewhere in the play.

I was in a group with Renee, our play was about a girl who was home alone but then she found an alien in her house, she had to hide the alien before her mum got home.
Our rehearsals went pretty well, they were full of fun and laughter but we did get a lot done aswell.
Renee and I weren't very nervous because we have done a lot more embarrising things in front of our class than just a short play.

We did ours about spaceship full of humans that invade an alien planet. We had a few sessions to write and practise our scripts. The characters were: Matilda-human, Phoebe-alien, me-alien. I really enjoyed writing, practising and performing our skit.

This is our group!

Alien Vs Humans

2011-12-06T12:52:00.000+11:00

On the 25th of November we presented our aliens vs humans play. Mr.Chaffer and Kim came up with the idea of people getting into groups to come up with a creative idea of how aliens meet humans.
I was in a group with Michelle and Mel. Our play was about two friends going to the zoo because they were board. One of the friends watched the news and saw something about an alien enclosure at the zoo. There was "nothing' in there, so they went home but the alien jumped into their cup. They went home and found the alien.
Mel, Michelle and I went scared because it was only a little play and it wasn't just our play everyone else did it to.It was actually quite fun. Our group went first because I had to go to my Drama Concert.

This is a picture of us performing

Aliens vs Humans Drama Skit

2011-12-06T12:50:00.000+11:00

On Friday we had to perform a skit about: The first meet of Aliens and Humans

In my group there was Anna, Winnie and I. We played the following rolls:

Winnie: Maya (Rosie's cousin and Assistant)

Anna: Flipper the Alien

Leah: Rosie the Coroner

The story is based in 3011 and Rosie was disecting a body with Maya when they hear a rattling in one of the dead body cages, When Rosie goes to look they find Flipper the alien who crashed her ship when flying across earth to her home planet. Rosie and Maya do many test her her to find out more about her and then try to find a way home.

It was a really funny experince and it was supa dupa awesome! We used some improv which Anna did but Anna did a really good job with that which made everyone laugh.

It was a good experince but I did feel nervous at first but then felt great, but I still wouldn't want to do it again.

The End :)

the big pineapple

2011-12-06T12:49:00.005+11:00

In class we had a student teacher called Kim. One of her lessons was literacy and drama. We had to get into groups and then we had to write and perform scripts about Aleins meeting humans.

Our script was about an alien that could not get back home because he had crash landed in a girl’s backyard. The problem was that her mum had gone home and she needed to get the alien away before her mum gets home.

Kim said we could choose 1 prop and we chose a pineapple and we didn’t use it until the last minute. Personally I didn’t really enjoy it that much I would have rather made an alien or something like that.

In the end it was a good play and I was proud that I had done such a thing.

Our Skit

2011-12-06T12:46:00.003+11:00

On Friday the 25^th of November we did a skit and it had to do with an alien. It was great fun I was in a group with Sara, Mel and I. In our skit we got to choose 1 prop and we chose a cup.

It was about how an alien called Bloop (me) was in a habitat at the zoo. But it was so tiny that Christian (Sara) and Melisa (Mel) couldn’t see it so Bloop jumped into the cup and went home with them.

After they went home I came out of the cup and frightened them. They were asking questions such as “do u know what school is?” Then they were fighting about who should take Bloop home so Bloop just disappeared. The end!

The practise went pretty well at the end though but at the start it wasn’t that good cause we kept on fighting but then we figured it all out! They didn’t feel nervous but in fact they felt excited!

At the start I was just so excited and I couldn’t wait because I didn’t know how it would end but then when we finished our skit I felt relieved because I was glad that people like our play .

When Humans meet Aliens reflection

2011-12-06T12:45:00.002+11:00

We were doing a drama play about when humans meet aliens.

In my group were Jono, Anthony and I. Our play was about an astronaut that go's to an undiscovered planet and doesnt come back. Then two other astronauts go to find the other astronaut but they only find his head and an alien is holding it.out practice went pretty well and we all co-operated quite well. I thought that the performance was fun.

Before the ferformance I felt nervous and after the performance i found out that it was fun. I thought that the performance went well. We remembered all our words, what to do and we spoke fairly clearly. Altogether it was really fun.

Aliens Vs Humans Skit

2011-12-06T12:16:00.000+11:00

On Friday the 25th of November, we performed a play of when humans first met aliens. We got split into groups of three or two. I was in a group with Anna and Leah. We also had to use a random prop.

My play was about a coroner named Rosie and she was with her cousin/intern name Maya. They were performing an autopsy when one of the cases containing a "dead" body rattled. Then they discovered an alien that emergency landed in Earth. Rosie and Maya used a complexed equipment that would control the alien's body. They discovered that the alien's name was "Flippa". In the end, they sent Flippa back to its own planet.

I thought the play was a great experience and my group co-operated really well. When we had to present the play, I was really nervous and scared but after we presented it, I was relieved and happy. I think ou play turned out really well since we all tried our best.
