Collect yesterday’s classwork: 18 quotations…
(TO BE COLLECTED when finished):
1. Similar to yesterday, use your textbook to create 15 “dominoes” that show the events that you read about in Romeo & Juliet Act 3, Scene 1 (pgs. 872-883).
- In other words, show how one thing led to the next thing all the way through the entire scene.
2. Next, choose one “domino” from your sequence. Choose one that started all the problems. Change it.
- Change it to something positive. SO that if the character would have done it, all the other problems in the scene would NOT have happened.
3. With your change in mind, create 7 NEW dominoes that start with your change. Your new dominoes should show what could have happened in the scene, but didn’t.
Next, having read Act III, Scene 1, in a small group, you will write a script for a talk show (the rest of the hour) by following these steps:
1. Read handout carefully (as a class)
2. There are 5 questions on the handout that your characters must address.
a. How was Mercutio killed
b. Why Mercutio was killed….etc…(see handout)
c. …
3. Required length of script = 3 sides (of 2 sheets of paper)
- Write on every line.
i. Do not skip lines.
4. No physical violence in your scripts. Characters may argue, but no violence.
5. TO BE COLLECTED AT THE END OF TODAY’S CLASS
ENGLISH homework:
We will finish all of today’s classwork tomorrow, in class, and turn it in then.
******************************************
PLAYWRITING – Day 27
Take out your scripts from yesterday…
Continue listening to scripts – HOW TO BE SUBTLE
REWRITE your subtle script
No character gets to say what he/she means…
- Instead of saying “Will you do out with me?” what could a character say instead?
- Instead of a parent telling their child that the dog died, write what they would say instead.

none
