5. Cherry Hill Korean School Project

Working with Korean-American students at Cherry Hill has achieved. The show was given informally like a stage reading. With only 10 times of rehearsals, among 10, six were covered with script writing, the students did their best. The great portion of writing was what I wanted because this process is a kind of training Korean language. So, talking and exchanging ideas in Korean, the Korean language ability can be improved. That is part of my process to make a show and, at the same time, to improve language in question. 

** The first group is composed of Middle and High School students and only boys, but later, one girl joined.
I encouraged them to make the basic story of their show. Then, on the basis of what they said, I wrote a short script of 20 minutes in Korean. This story can be developed into more complicated one, but I didn't do that because there was a kind of time limit. 
Here, I just want to let you see the script (written in Korean) that I wrote from students' idea.

^^ The second group was relatively younger than the first and except one boy, all of them were girls. 
I thought it would not be easy to make a story and go to next step with them because they were too young to fully invent a fiction. That's why I just wanted to apply a kind of standard homeroom type performance that I formulated for them. 
They chose King Sejong, the greatest king in Korean history and I asked each of the students to prepare what they would present during the performance. After some sessions of research of each student, the script is ready.
