1-Minute Play Exercise

During 7th period, please complete the following:

1. Select a partner you would like to work with
2. Together create two characters (one per partner, for example). 
3. Create a setting. 
4. Then write your own 1-minute play. Each play should be no longer than 2 pages in length. Use the lab time to write your 1-minute play. Complete your play, title it, print and turn it in. Next class we will read these original works together.

Please turn in your homework: Homework was to create a character or identify a speaker. Then write a monologue of at least 1 paragraph where your character talks.

Period 8, please go next door with your Christopher Durang books. We will read out loud in class.

HOMEWORK: Complete the play we are currently reading on your own.
