Acting+Out

We are going to work in group and write a skit about a lesson that you think is important for someone to learn. There needs to be at least 3 characters in this skit. You must write a script with realistic and appropriate dialogue. Script must include stage direction and scenery.

1. Meet with your ASSIGNED group 2. Discuss what lesson you want to teach. You can choose your own or from this list of examples: "Don't judge a book by it's cover", "Better to be safe than sorry", "Sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never hurt me", "Slow and steady wins the race" 3. Decide what scenario your characters will be in and make an outline of your story. Use this graphic organizer to get your thoughts in order. 4. You must get your graphic organizer approved before moving on to the next step. 5. Begin writing your script. Start with setting, then character descriptions, and then begin with the dialogue.
