Write a 3-5 page screen play scene that retells an experience from your own life. This should be of an influential moment in your life, but it must be classroom appropriate. We will be performing them after final drafts are in. The scene you choose should be dynamic, but make sure it’s something you feel comfortable in sharing with others. We will be working in groups and gathering peer reviews through the project. If you are concerned about whether or not your topic is appropriate please ask me. This is designed for you to think objectively about your life experience. It will be a good activity to coach you in giving directions, expressing emotions through stage directions, and expressing yourself through a new genre.

Here are some ideas you can use on coming up with a topic: · Family Videos · Photo Albums · Memories · Journal Entries · Show and Tell Activity · Ask friends what they think your most memorable moment is. We won’t have time to act all of our scenes out but you will either direct and/or act a scene out. This will be voluntary unless I have issues finding volunteers. This will be half of your class participation grade.
