  1. Elements of a Play What are the 5 components of a play’s script?

  2. List of characters • Setting (includes time and place) • “As the curtain rises” – what the audience will see as the play begins • Dialogue – the name of the speaker is often in bold and capitals followed by a colon • Brackets – indicate to the reader/actor information not provided by speech (ie. actions, attitude, tone)

  3. NOW IT’S YOUR TURN!! • Using your silent reading novel, create your own play. • You must base your play around a problem/conflict from your novel and it must be resolved throughout the course of the play. • It will be due on Monday, Nov. 16th. • You must include your rough draft with the final copy. • Don’t forget to include a title. • Length – 3 to 4 pages

  4. You will be assessed on the following: • (5) FORMAT – correct use of 5 elements • (5) BRACKETS – do they provide the reader/actor with the information required to understand/act out the play the way the writer intended • (5) CONVENTIONS – complete sentences, punctuation, spelling, etc. • (5) CONTENT – is the problem/conflict introduced and resolved completely and fluently • (5) Cover – can be drawn or printed but must reflect the title/content • (5) Presentation – care and effort put into the final product
