Being A Good Citizen(Transcript)

Jenny: Hello everyone, welcome to the 2nd episode of Social Studies Thursdays.

Reece: And today, we will be interviewing different students who are not part of either the Theatre, Choir and the Orchestra club. We are starting with Year 11.

Jenny and Reece went up to a Year 11 student, Trinity.

Jenny: Hello Trinity.

Trinity: Hi Jenny, hi Reece.

Reece: So we'll ask you a few questions on how to be a good citizen.

Jenny: First one, to be a good citizen, you have to be respectful. Are you respectful of other people and property?

Trinity: Yes, but some people don't earn my respect. Because I am in 11B, Geri, Victoria, Melanie and Emma would bully me. A lot.

Jenny: That's bad.

Trinity: I know.

Reece: Second question. Are you respectful of school property?

Trinity: Yeah, I am usually the one tidying up my classroom. It was just me because the mean girls made me do it and Tristan has been doing his choir stuff.

Reece: Have you been following school rules?

Trinity: Yes, I always made sure I follow school rules.

Reece: Have you been displaying good character?

Trinity: I always do that, towards the teachers and my friends.

Reece: Last one, have you been giving back to the school community?

Trinity: By what?

Reece: By helping the teachers and stuff like that?

Trinity: If it counts cleaning the classrooms, then yeah.

Jenny: Thank you for your time, Trinity.

Trinity: No sweat.

Reece: See you next time in school.

Trinity: No problem.

After interviewing Trinity, Reece and Jenny went up to interview a Year 10 student, Lawrence.

Jenny: Hello Lawrence.

Lawrence: Hi Jenny, hi Reece.

Reece: So we'll ask you a few questions on how to be a good citizen.

Jenny: First one, to be a good citizen, you have to be respectful. Are you respectful of other people and property?

Lawrence: No, I want to go on breaks, even if the teachers asked me to do work. Also, I always make a mess in school.

Jenny: That's bad.

Lawrence: Who cares.

Reece: Second question. Are you respectful of school property?

Lawrence: I've always been making a mess. I even turned your choir room into a rubbish bin.

Jenny: Oh no.

Reece: Have you been following school rules?

Lawrence: No, you know there is a school rule called, 'no vaping?'.

Jenny: Yes.

Lawrence: I vape like those mean girls.

Reece: Have you been displaying good character?

Lawrence: No, I lie.

Reece: Last one, have you been giving back to the school community?

Lawrence: Never.

Jenny: That's being a bad citizen.

Reece: I know, see you never.

After interviewing Lawrence, Reece and Jenny went up to interview a Year 9 student, Jenna.

Jenny: Hello Jenna.

Jenna: Seriously? What kind of singing losers would like to interview me?

Reece: We're not basically losers, we just want to ask you a few things.

Jenny: So we'll ask you a few questions on how to be a good citizen.

Reece: First one, to be a good citizen, you have to be respectful. Are you respectful of other people and property?

Reece: Second question. Are you respectful of school property?

Jenna: What? Respect school property? Oh please, school property should respect me.

Reece: We would like to, but we would like to ask you a few questions.

Ben: Sure, go on.

Reece: First one, to be a good citizen, you have to be respectful. Are you respectful of other people and property?

Ben: Why yes I do, except the hallways.

Jenny: Glad you admit it.

Reece: Second question. Are you respectful of school property?

Ben: I'm respectful to all of school property. Except the halls, I always trash it.

Jenny: Oh no.

Reece: Have you been following school rules?

Ben: I follow those rules, except no skateboarding.

Reece: Have you been displaying good character?

Ben: Why yes. I always help the teachers clean up whenever I get into trouble.

Reece: Last one, have you been giving back to the school community?

Jenny and Reece went up to interview the last student... Annika.

Jenny: Annika?!

Annika: Oh I see, I've heard you guys are going to interview me.

Reece: About being a good citizen.

Annika: Oh please, the citizens here in Georgetown are horrible. So long, suckers.

Annika stomped away.

Jenny: Wow, that was rough.

Reece: Well, that's it for today. We can't interview any Year 7 student because Annika is being pretty stubborn.

Jenny: I know, see you in the next episode.

Both: Bye!
