4. Presentation:
Each student will present their idea for a play to the class. Each student
will vote for play other than their own. Titles will be drawn from a hat. (12
points).
Just to let you know for future reference ....
Please note that if the class votes on your play, it is subject to change e.g.
the class will possibly need to change the title, a character or part of the
plot in your play. Nevertheless, you should be proud because the play will be
based on an idea created by you and as such, this will be noted in the program.
Once we have decided on a play, we will work in groups during class to create
scenes to develop the plot of the play. As the scenes are being created, we
will visit the library to type up our scenes. Eventually we will have created
our acts and scenes for our play.
As the play progresses you will also each need to write a one minute monologue
for our characters which will be due before the completion of the play.
