PLAYWRITING – Day 31
FINISH 2 scripts from yesterday…SHARE your scripts with me on EDMODO, today.
With a partner, create a GOOGLE DOC and with BOTH NAMES at the top, write 2 short, 1-sided scripts…use this website for a topic…http://www.thestorystarter.com/jr.htm
- SCRIPT #1 = write it so it lacks subtlety, is literal, and the characters’ echo each other.
- SCRIPT #2 = re-write script #1, this time using subtlety and various forms of sidesteps (see notes above)
Pick up copy of notes (handout).
PLAYWRITING homework:
1. Individually, create test and answer key based on the playwriting notes/handout…(5 questions per page of notes, 20 questions total)
2. Imagine a situation where you (or someone you know) was persuaded to do something that you initially didn’t want to do. Now imagine that the persuading was done over the phone.
3. On a separate paper, you will write ½ of a phone conversation where we only hear what the persuadee’s (the person being persuaded) says as he speaks into the phone (as if he was on a phone and we could only hear his side of things).
a. The persuadee is the “buyer” (the persuader would be the “seller”). We’re focusing on the “buyer’s” side of the conversation only. Do not write down what the persuader is saying.
4. Include at least 20 different responses for the persuadee.
