Monologue Project

Today we examined the monologue project. Here is the assignment sheet (in progress) for your continued reference. Further updates to come.

Four Writing Prompts

A dead historical figure is back. Who? Why? How? (Zombie? Ghost? Reincarnation? Time Machine?) What does he/she do?

An object has an intelligence and personality and can speak to its user. What does it want? Why? How will it get it?

The "bad guys" are attacking the "good guys" again. Only our hero can save them! What's the problem? How does hero save the day?

Protagonist is trapped! Where? Why? How? Get protagonist out of there!

Homework

In class you spent ten minutes with each prompt, then talked briefly about it with a group. Tonight, spend twenty (solid) minutes writing more on the prompt you felt had the most potential to be a real story.

First Day!

It was so nice to meet all of you this first day of school. Glad you could make it to the web site.

Here is the document you are looking for, the class expectations, in .doc, .rtf, and .pdf formats.

Don't forget to obtain all the necessary items - you wrote them in your planner, and they can be found in the class expectations.

If you were absent and need to see what we did, here is the powerpoint we did in class with the rundown of what's due.

See you tomorrow!
