The topic I choose is kids who drop out of school. You can’t raise money or hold a bake sale to prevent kids from dropping out of school, the only way to solve this is to come up with a law that will prevent kids from dropping out. Kids start dropping out of school when they graduate middle school and start high school. I will show the two types of dropouts ones with their G.E.D and ones without.

Scenes: Scene1&4: Take place in a hallway scene2&3y: take place in a classroom with board

Script Scene1

Me: Did you know kids dropout every year.

( Will walks out of a classroom with book bag on his back )

Me:These kids are called dropouts. Lucy: There are two types dropouts. Ones with their G.E.D and ones with out. Me: G.E.D stand for General Education Development. Eleanor: This is only a test for kids who do not have a high school diploma. ( Picture of a diploma comes on screen for 5 seconds) Scene 2 Me: They’re five different parts a G.E.D. Which include Language arts Social Studies, Science, Writing and Mathematics. Lucy: A G.E.D test takes hours. (Picture of a clock fades on for 5 seconds) Me: But not all kids get a G.E.D. So what happens to the kids who don’t. Eleanor: Well they find jobs. Eventually. (Picture of Will filling out a work application comes on screen )

Me: But it will it be harder for the to find a job? Yes. A G.E.D student or a high school graduate can get a job in half the time a student who dropped out can. Lucy: Well students who realize dropping out wasn’t such a smart idea can go back to high school. ( Will re-enters the classroom and starts working on problem on the board ) Me:Your probably thinking why did they dropout in the first place? A lot of the kids who dropout out of school dropout because a class is to hard, or they want to make money quicker and faster.They also may dropout because they feel like a teacher is yelling at them more than teaching. Scene 3 Eleanor: So do teachers play apart in a kids dropping out of school.

Me: Not really. What the kids are learning does play a big part. A lot of kids dropout because they don't understand what the teacher is teaching or saying.

( Picture of a board with a math problem fades on the screen) Scene 4 Will: Who is smarter a dropout with a G.E.D or one without??????**
