MAJOR ASSIGNMENT DESCRIPTION: For this assignment you will be broken down into 4-5 person groups. Each person in the group will find a three-page “strong climactic” scene from an established play [19th –21st century (1900 and up)/Not The Glass Menagerie or any play that has been performed at LHS in the last four years.]. Then, each person in the group will create a prompt book for their short scene and direct the other members of the group in that scene. The majority of the grade will come from the PROMPT BOOK. Not every person in the group must be in every scene, but each member of the group must be in at least two.
¶ Each member of the group is responsible for memorizing their part in one scene. It must be the most substantial part.
