Grab a computer and your notebook:
In your notebook OR in an email to me, please answer the following questions:

Question One:
In the play that you are writing, what character do you identify most with and why? What about in someone else's play? What about in a play that you have read for class or during another class?

Question Two:
Imagine something. Anything. You can make up a story or you can make up a world or make up a character or make up an invention or make up a word and explain it or... the possibilities are endless!

Grab a computer and your notebook:
In your notebook OR in an email to me, please answer the following questions:

Question One:
Which activity have we done in class help you develop your play the most? Why? How? How do you know that your play is improving? Here are some ideas of activities we have done, but if you can think of something else, definitely please point it out:
1. What If? Activity
2. Thinking up settings
3. Discussing Wants/Fears
4. Reading published plays
5. Reading other students' final plays
6. Reading one another's plays
7. One on one feedback with Carol
8. Feedback from a peer in the group
9. Having your play read out loud by the group
10. Having your play discussed/critiqued in the Pops/Questions/WhatIf? Format
11. Writing monologues
12. Discussing character tactics (the ways a character goes about getting his or her objective)
13. Writing What If?s for your own play
14. FTF Statements (First, Then, Finally)
15. Seeing quotes/talks from great playwrights

Question Two:
Of the same choices above (and of course, if you can think of others, please feel free to discuss them), what activities have helped you develop your personal voice/style as a writer? Distinguish this between the first question that helped you develop your play. Which activities helped you develop and explore your own voice?

Grab a computer and your notebook.
If you did NOT respond to the email exit card, open up your notebook and answer it now:

1. What did you find useful about reading Kristy's play and participating in a critique session?
2. Write about another student in the class that you have come to appreciate better than before this elective (so before reading plays/participating in critique/analysis of plays/writing plays). Why? What?s the story?

If you DID respond to the email exit card, open up your computer and continue working on your play!!! Critique sessions today and tomorrow and a full draft due on Thursday!!!
