PLAYWRITING – Day 8 

Collect homework: one-page “Would you make for a good character?”
Take out your script assignment from the other day - 10 dominoes (WITH DIALOGUE)
In your group,
  1. Read just your dialogue aloud to each other
  2. As a group, (on a whiteboard) write down a list of what you liked about some of the dialogue you heard in your group.
Read – “Characters in Conflict” (pg. 29-33)

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH:

  • Today you will learn how to create a character - a protagonist. Perhaps it’s a character based on a real-life person, perhaps it’s one you’ve imagined.
A.          In approx. two pages, write a brief biographical sketch of this person. You are creating a fictional character, but don’t be afraid to base this character on a person or persons from real life. Maybe the character is you. Maybe it’s someone you hardly know. Choose the character’s birthdate, birthplace, and where the character grew up. Choose the character’s family, social and economic background…EVERYTHING.

B.           Next describe 3 key events in that character’s life – deaths, winning the lottery, childhood scars. Now look at your biography. Is it interesting enough? Could the events and actions you’ve imagined be altered to create a more interesting person? Is there any hint of a rebellious spirit?

PLAYWRITING homework:
None.
