PLAYWRITING – Day 40
READERS THEATRE – DAY 3
Finish performances…. Each student is assigned a role from a variety of scripts:
Wuthering Heights (Emily Brontë), The Picture of Dorian Gray (Oscar Wilde)
Next, returning to our “break-up” scenes (with the bell) – we read these scripts ALOUD using the same characters/voices we used for the scripts we just read in class.
Can we write these character descriptions into our scripts in the future?
Will our dialogue be affected by these characters while we write it if we have them fully realized before we write it?
PLAYWRITING homework:
None
