DAY 1:

​

2.) Completed a Unit Test on Types of Stages, Stage Directions, Stage Terms.

​

3.) Watched Ira Glass on Storytelling - part II (0:00-3:08) and discussed why letting some ideas "die" can sometimes allow better ideas to "live".

• With a partner (of your choice), create a GOODBYE SCENE to music (choose music clip #1, #2, or #3)

  • Be SPECIFIC in your CHOICES (character, setting, why's, etc.)

  • Your STORY should have a beginning, conflict, sequence of actions, and resolution (NOT the same action over and over).  

  • No talking (or mouthing words).  Work to SHOW more than you tell.  

​
