ASSIGNMENT 5 PLAYS 2
How To... Make your play.
Step 1: Work in small groups of 4.
Step 2: As a group, write your own script for a short play using the template provided here. Be careful that you all help to write the script as you will need to talk about your own role in the play for your individual points.
Step 3: Use Gossip as your model and adapt it with your own ideas. Your play should be 5-6 minutes long.
Step 4: It must have at least two scenes within the same act using the same setting (the street of town houses). For example: Scene 1: the gossiping Scene 2: the problem caused
Step 5: Make sure that you create a good setting use a background or scenery to help you.
Step 6: Make sure that you make use of props. Those props should be written in your scene and stage directions.
Step 7 You should still think about the characters in your play, but for Assignments 5 spend less time on it. Then, write down what each character will say. This is a writing task, so check your spelling, grammar and handwriting in your script.
Step 8: Then, act out your play and record it on video.
Step 9: Hand the CD and your script to your teacher.
Step 10: Prepare your notes for your individual talk about your character and your role in the play. You will give your individual talk BEFORE you show the CD to the class.
