The Group Project

Characters:

Scene: A classroom after school. Three students plan their group presentation for Friday.

ANNA: Okay, team—deadline is Friday. I made a schedule. If we follow it, we’ll finish on time.

BEN: Relax, Anna! We still have three days. I’ve got an amazing idea: a short cartoon to explain the topic.

CLARA: A cartoon sounds interesting. But will the teacher like it?

ANNA: Ben, your ideas are creative, but sometimes not practical. We need to be serious.

BEN: Serious like this? (makes a straight face) See? I can be serious.

CLARA: (laughs) You’re funny. But Anna is right—we can’t just play around.

ANNA: Thank you, Clara. I just want to do a good job. If we’re late, I get stressed.

BEN: You’re very hardworking, Anna. I admire that. But sometimes you’re impatient—you want everything your way.

ANNA: Hmm… maybe I am. It’s because I care about the result.

CLARA: Maybe we can combine ideas. Anna’s plan helps us finish on time. Ben’s creativity makes it interesting.

BEN: Wow, Clara! You don’t talk a lot, but when you do, you’re very wise. You’re kind and thoughtful.

ANNA: Great suggestion. Let’s divide the work.

BEN: I’ll design the cartoon part and add a few jokes.

ANNA: I’ll organize the slides and practice the main points.

CLARA: I’ll write the introduction and conclusion—clear and polite.

BEN: And I promise I won’t be lazy this time.

ANNA: (smiles) Good. If you are, I’ll get impatient again!

CLARA: Don’t worry. We’re a team. Our different traits help us succeed.

ALL: (together) Yes!

(They start working, smiling and focused.)
