dcf.cymru stimulus sheet · Drama · Year 7
The school, the show, the people, the files and every size on this sheet are invented practice material.
Year 7 are putting on Y Llong Goll (The Lost Ship), a play about a ghost ship that appears off the coast of Ysgol Bro Alwen’s town. Everyone in the cast and crew has been saving work into one shared folder on the school drive. It is now a mess. Nobody can find the latest script, the sound team played the wrong storm on Monday, and the folder is nearly half full.
The shared folder can hold 2 GB in total. The drive counts 1 GB = 1000 MB, so the limit is 2000 MB.
Please sort it out before the dress rehearsal. Mr Owain Price, Drama
All 15 files sit loose in one folder. There are no sub-folders.

Elis from the sound team opened storm.mp3 because it was at the top of the list. It was the old, quiet version. The audience in the dress rehearsal would not have heard it over the cast.
Two pupils in the cast learned their lines from Y Llong Goll script FINAL.docx, because “FINAL” sounded like the newest. It was not.
