Hey everyone,
For all those who are uninformed, our ToK assembly in on the 22nd of February and our entire group is doing a short skit on Languages.
As of now, I am not posting anything regarding this as all what we've planned is very tentative and not concrete. By tomorrow, Wednesday 6th Feb, we shall have finalized the cast of characters, central plot and the script (hopefully) - Chaitra, I would request you to please post this up.
If anyone has any ideas and changes to add, please add your comments.
P.S: In the sidebar there are a bunch of Mind Your Language videos from Youtube, which could generate ideas for our assembly

Introduction by Karina and Shireen:
Karina: “Hey what’s up? I’ve done so badly in my hindi test. Yuck, I hate it! I don’t see WHY we have to learn it man!”
Shireen: “Are you insane? Learning our languages is so important. Blah blah blah”
Curtains open.
Scene: A group of people, dressed differently, scattered around in a “train compartment”. Lots of talking, different languages, seems like a mob of gibberish.
Light focuses on a few couples:
1. French couple
2. Gujju couple
3. ...
Hawker enters, swinging a ring of scissors and knives around, shouting in Marathi. Approaches the Tamil person, who does not comprehend. Approaches the Spanish and French persons who too do not understand. Hindi and Gujju persons approach and start bargaining. After a transaction, she leaves.
Again everyone sitting down and jabbering. American and Tamil interact? Etc.
Hijackers enter with knives in their hands. “Freeze!”
American understands, shouts, screams. Tamil person approaches him, asking how much, in Tamil? Etc.
Gujju snatches the gun from Chhota Don’s hands. He gets agitated and snatches it back. Tamil gets annoyed and hits him with a stick. Hijackers get annoyed and run off.
Scene freezes, curtains close.
Back to Shireen and Karina.
Yeah maybe a common language is necessary
END- language is my identity
