May 19- Act project

We finished reading Act Two and now are doing a project for the end of it. Here are the options for the project:

You are going to pick one section of Act Two to focus on.

Choose one of the following to complete for your section:

1.     Act it out-You will be graded primarily on your emotion and blocking.  

2.     Act it out using puppet theater. You will have to videotape this. I’ve got a printout of pilgrims that you can cut out and decorate.

3.     Create a multi-paneled comic strip of the section.  Make sure ALL characters are included as well as ALL major topics.  This doesn’t have to be word-for-word.  Choose this option only if you are a good artist and will spend time on it.

4.     Re-write the scene. Give it a different outcome. Then write an essay explaining how this outcome affects the ending of the play. I will grade this on creativity of the rewritten scene as well as a thoughtful description of how the play ends.

Here are the sections.
