After reading the play scripts today in class, please return to the lab and complete the One-Minute Play activity.
One-Minute Play Activity:
1. Choose a partner from your reading group.
2. Select a setting card from the front of the room.
3. Using the setting card, think of a character who might be found in this location (or an interesting contrasting character who doesn't really belong in this setting--your choice). DO NOT TELL YOUR PARTNER WHO YOUR CHARACTER IS.
4. Taking turns at ONE COMPUTER, open a word document file and put your group members names on the heading.
DO NOT SPEAK TO YOUR PARTNER VERBALLY ABOUT WHAT YOUR CHARACTER SAYS. LEAVE THIS FOR THE PLAY.
5. One writer will start. Write the setting and location on the top of the page. The first writer will type his/her character's name, and write that character a line of dialogue.
NOTE: a line of dialogue might be one word, a sentence, or may be several paragraphs in length. You choose!
After the line of dialogue, allow the second writer to respond to what the first character said. Have that writer write their line. Continue this until you have about 1 or 2 pages of dialogue going.
6. Find a way after coming to the bottom of the page or when on the second page to finish your conversation.
HOMEWORK: There is no homework over break. Enjoy. Please note that journals will be collected November 30.
