Collaborative Play Project

Please get into your chosen groups (groups of 3-5 from last class).

Last class you should have free written a list of themes you would like to work with for this project.
As a GROUP, select one theme that members of the group can agree on.

Alone in the lab today, write a scene for a play using this theme. You may use The Colored Museum as a model for your structure and script format. Your scene can be a monologue, include a song (if you'd like), and/or be a scene with no more than 5 characters. Use stage directions for your scene when it is necessary to show setting details or character actions THAT ARE IMPORTANT. Avoid "directing" your script by bothering with too many stage directions.

Give your scene a title (and put your name after it...by...STUDENT'S NAME).
Your scenes should be about 2-4 pages and drafts are due at the end of today's class.

ATTENTION: some of you have not turned in your Black History poem draft. Please make sure you do that. It is late.

HOMEWORK: None. You should have completed The Colored Museum.
