Final assignment includes:
1 script for each cast member -- script should be annotated: define any unknown words, indicate, entrance, movement, exits (using abbreviations), tone, pauses, emotion, delivery notes, actions -- be sure I know who's script I am getting (your name and your character name)
If there are any cuts, this must be indicated on all scripts
1 script with paraphrased summary of action (modern English)
1 page that describes setting, time, place, (including year), prop list -- I'd be curious to know what food and drink you're serving at the banquet too.
1 page with either descriptions or drawings of costumes
A diagram of the setting -- location of entrances, exits, banquet table, chairs, etc.
1 Character chart for each cast member
You will be able to work on this for a portion of class again Monday/Tuesday.
PERIOD 1 STUDENTS: IF YOU WERE ABSENT TODAY, IGNORE THE PROMPT BOOK PROJECT!!! COME TO MY OFFICE TO DO A MAKE UP QUIZ (10 QUESTIONS) AND COMPLETE THE WORK BELOW.
For homework: Choose ONE of the questions attached. Write a one paragraph answer. (This will be relatively long paragraph.) Follow these instructions exactly!
Because this is a play, when you include a quotation for support, the speaker must be identified BEFORE the quotation; also include the person(s) addressed and/or the situation or location.
For example:
When Lady Macbeth responds to her husband’s question about possible failure in their plot, she is incredulous that her spouse would even think to vocalize such a thought. At this point in the play, Lady Macbeth is determined and resolute. Her unwavering single-mindedness is readily apparent when Macbeth, still somewhat apprehensive, asks his wife, “If we should fail?” (I.vii.59), and Lady Macbeth replies with, “Screw your courage to the sticking-place/And we’ll not fail” (I.vii.60). Lady Macbeth next proposes her plan for her husband’s swift and opportune rise to power: murder the king and blame it on the guards.
