Please turn in your monologue homework (monologue #2, see previous post) and the answered questions from Talking With.
Today, for the first 1/2 of the class, please do the following exercise:
1. Using the program "Photobooth", create 3 pictures of yourself in different moods (with different effects to symbolize each mood). You may wish to use the locations from the effects menu. If you need a new setting, use Google IMAGES, pick a place like Paris or London or Rome or a street corner or farm, etc. and quickly choose a picture background by dragging the picture to your desktop, then drag it onto the "drag background here" spaces.
2. After you have completed step #1: then, write a monologue in which you fictionalize yourself. Allow your character to move through the feelings, or express the three moods you created. You have the first period to complete this exercise. At the end of period one, please print out your monologue and hold on to it for a moment.
PERIOD 2: Period 2 we will discuss Talking With as a class. After our discussion, choose one of the three monologues you have written and prepare to share this by reading it with passion and energy to the class.
HOMEWORK: Please read MONSTER by Dael Orlandersmith. You can read a short interview with her here. Complete Monster for homework.
