Brighton Beach Memoirs: Act 2 (Conclusion)

Today we will finish our reading of Brighton Beach Memoirs.

With time remaining, we will go back to the lab to upload any video footage or to catch up on missing work:

  • human interest article
  • 500 word short story
  • poetry walk poem draft
Your human interest video will be due next week. Make sure you complete your video filming over the long weekend.

For those of you who have completed all assignments so far:

Our next writing project (apart from those we have worked on so far, such as the human interest video, etc.) will be to write a coming-of-age play script. Use the characteristics of a coming-of-age story (bildungsroman) to tell a story about a character growing up. Write your coming of age story as a play (like Brighton Beach Memoirs or Fences). This project is not due yet.

HOMEWORK: Complete the filming of your human interest video project. Bring your film footage to our next class to begin uploading and editing.
