Work in your group to develop your plot.

Task:  Create a short 3 act play showing 2 emotions.  The play should be approx. 5-8 minutes.  All the students in your group are actors in the play. Each student should have the same amount of lines and acting time. (Remember this is a drama class and I am grading you primarily on your acting:)

Each group will choose a topic - no violence (no guns, no knives, no hitting, no killing, no dying) on the stage.

Work in your group to develop your ideas
         a.  Title of your film
         b.  Plot line (developed)
         c.  Message you want to send
         d.  Characters decided
         e.  Costumes/Props
         d.  Setting

You don't have to write the script out but you will storyboard the action.
