worried about drama tomorrow!!

Deleted • 17 August 2014 at 4:34 AM

For my drama class we were paired up and had to prepare a presentation on Australian theatre. The girl I was paired with didn't do a thing!! I asked her to do stuff, and she just wouldn't, so I've done it all.
She did however do her part for a short play we filmed for part of it.... But that took two days to get done due to her constantly messing around.
That's really all she did.
Anyway, tomorrow we have to present it, it's all done but I'm so worried she'll stuff it up due to not knowing when it's her turn to speak and not knowing the content enough to be able
to present it well.
She wouldn't practice it with me Friday and just said we'd take it in turns.
What do I do???!!!
Our presentation will be a muddled up disaster! D:

do worry it's normal to feel worried about that sort of thing just focus on your part meditate even so that when it comes to performance you don't muddle up yourself through stress.I'm sure the other girl knows what she's doing just maybe she as worried as you about the performance.

Tell the teacher about it, the teacher would take that into consideration for the marks of the presentation

As long as you do your part well, you'll be fine

@crazy_feline maybe she wants to practice it like 5 minutes before the presentation, i always do that 😋 just focus on your part and if you have time to practice before you have to present it, lets say a hour before then tell the girl to do a quick practice 😸 Good Luck ❤️

@crazy_feline you can tell her to take a quick practice before the actual presentation and maybe tell the teacher about it, as @mastergemma says. c: good luck! ❤️ ❤️

@werewolf thanks for the advice. 😊

@mastergemma unfortunately the teacher doesn't. :/ 20% of marks are based on how much work each person does, 80% are based on the performance/presentation of the group... I'll still do my best though and just hope if my partner does bad, he'll ignore it a little more. 😊

@mejary I just checked tomorrows timetable, we have drama straight after recess so I could ask if she'd practice over recess. 😊 if she doesn't then I guess I could remind her of when she needs to do her parts and confirm she knows what she's doing. 😊 We don't really have time in class, we come in, set up, perform.... For a whole period haha. Also, Thanks for the good luck. 😊

I wish you the best of luck. Any sane teacher would be understanding of a rubbish partner. Not sure what system you're going through. In the NSW, everyone in groups gets the same mark unless it's obvious there's a discrepancy between them.
Worst come to the worst, just do your best. I know it's not really helpful for me to say this, but it really isn't the end of the world. From the sound of it, you don't seem to be doing final exams (forgive me if I'm wrong). You're high school experience should be about development and growth. If you're learning the skills, the marks aren't that important. Of course you want to do well, but be aware that it's not the end of the world.

I'm sorry if this sounds patronising, but I'm doing my year 12 exams right now and it's very stressful. It's something that even the most hard-working, high level academics have to deal with.
Try for some perspective, I'm sure you'll be okay. You sound as though you have a good work ethic, so your schooling should be fine.
Good luck! We're rooting for you 😊
