A digital script: Fire!

In the Language class with Andrea we read an article "Fire" by Ivan Southall. After we worked with the story, the task given was to write our own radio play of this terrible night, we had to add sound effects, specific tenses (Simple Past, Past Continuous  and Past Perfect), use sequence connectors and a wide range of vocabulary. Finally we had to include an extra scene, invented by us, about what happened after the boys were found hiding in the bush.  I worked with Olivia Converti.

Here it is our script:


    It was early in the morning, Graham had woken up to boil water to make some tea. Wallace also woke up by the noises his friend was making.

- Sorry friend for the noise, I didn't mean to wake you up.

- No problem Graham, all in all I couldn't sleep due to the cold and the creepy noises of the woods.

[howlings]

-You see bro?

-Wow!

Graham was astonished

[Explosion sound]

- Oh my God! What have we done?

[Crackling Sound]

-We have to wake Henry up immediately before everything becomes a shower of flames.

     The fire was gaining space extremely quickly and Henry was still asleep.

[indistintic shouts]

-Let's grab our things right now!

-Henry wake up!

[Roaring sound]

-We are responsible for fierce fire. The flammable methylated spirits we were using to boil water have burst!

-Come on Henry, please wake up or you are going to burn into flames!

    Last of all Henry woke up,lost, he thought he was sleeping at home. The boys were hopeless and unattended, they were sorrounded by the red glow.

[sirens wailing]

-Firemen are coming! We are totally screwed up!

-Don't be silly Henry, they won't find us if we hide.

[Graham sobbing]

 After some minutes firemen managed to put out the fierce fire. Policemen and ambulances found the boys behind the bushes.

-Nothing is going to happen to you. We are here to protect you...

Three boys Wallace, Graham and Harry are camping in the Australian bush.
