Today, in small groups, please get together and read the selection of plays out loud in class.
Group A: Tyshon, Mitchell, Yasmine, Radezia, Aleah
Group B: Justice, Jacob, Grace, Karla-Marie, Jaymee
Group C: Joshua, Austin, Saisha, Izzy, Tyshay
As you read please note and discuss the following:
--How does a script differ from a poem or a short story?
--How does the playwright keep the action or scene going for the length of the play?
--What requirements does the author need or ask in order to stage the play? Consider set pieces, music, lights, costumes, etc. Would the set, music, lights, costumes be difficult to obtain?
--What is interesting for an actor in the script? If you were going to play this part, what did you like or dislike about the character or the situation?
In class (after reading): when you have completed your reading, with your group, brainstorm character names, settings, events, and themes that you can think of and write these down on the paper provided. We will use this chart again next class.
If you finish early, please take a look at these videos/plays:
David Ives: Variations of the Death of Trotsky
David Ives: The Universal Language
David Ives: The Philadelphia
John Wooten: The Role of Della
Christopher Durang: Funeral Parlor
I will be collecting your journals on Friday. Please prepare them.
HOMEWORK: None.
