Due dates/deadlines/summary notes

ELC,

Last block you:   

• submitted the story boards you have been working on,
• received the character development handouts . (Due Tuesday Feb.20/Wednesday Feb.21 individual work) 
• complete draft scripts for homework check (Due  Thurs. Feb. 15^th / Friday Feb. 16^th)

• Scripts Typed and printed /performances Due Thurs/Friday Feb. 23./22 There will be no extensions on the performance dates.

    Today, you received your Summary tests back. There has been considerable improvement. For many, we still need to do the following:

          1) Review Conditional tense. If the bacteria can withstand cold perhaps it could  live on Mars.

          2) Review paragraphing. Paragraphs don't have spaces in them, rather they are all of a piece. Example summary paragraph, notice how the topic sentence is not separated from the rest of the paragraph. 

          3) Notice, in the above example, how the topic sentence is connected as a full sentence. It is attached to the verb in the first sentence. It is not a sentence fragment. Be careful of this, to just place the source info. in front of your paragraph does not make it a topic sentence.

          4) Include the following: Title/source ex. Popular Science/author and date published/accessed.

5 class mini skit unit!

Hello all,

A block began working on our team playwriting unit today. You received the assignment and rubric
which includes due dates:

You will perform your skits for the class and hand in your scripts. 

Feb. 22/18 day 2

Feb. 23/18 Day 1  

We looked at Script formatting

You teamed up and began to brainstorm possibilities for a skit based on the theme of Discovery.Defined

For homework, review the following short videos:

How to write a one act play/skit

Here is a sample skit/one act play

You need not watch the whole video, but notice the way that characters interact.

How is it staged? Do they look at each other the whole time?

What is the set like?

What is happening when they are not talking?

How might the script for this play look? What sort of stage directions (instructions written into the script of a play indicating stage actions, movements of performers and/or props/lights.) do you think were added?

I look forward to your creative efforts. 

Ms. S
