I was supposed to write a theatre sample for the six year-old children, who are EFL pupils, in order that they can act in a play at the end of the semester.
I’ve come up with the one below. Now I’d like to hear your suggestions for improving my sloppy sentences- besides, I would dearly love to hear some addition or removal that you might suggest. Because it looks rather dry, and it's not interesting!
NARRATOR: There is a Big Fish. She is very, very big. And these are Small Fish. They are very, very small. They lived in the deep blue sea. The Small Fish were scared of the Big Blue Fish.
PART 1 BIG BLUE FISH ( in a loud voice ) : I’m hungry. I’m very, very hungry! Where are you, Small Red Fish?
SMALL RED FISH: Oh, HELP! HELP! HELP! Where can I hide? (Finds a Shell)
THE SHELL: Hey, Small Red Fish! Come under me. I can hide you!
BIG BLUE FISH ( looking around ) Where are you, small red fish? (Finds the Small Red Fish) Ah, there you are! I can see your tail.
NARRATOR: But Small Red Fish just escaped in time ( Small Red Fish swims away ) ___________________ o _____________________
