Writing/Testing

For those of you not taking the NYS Regents Exam in English today, please continue to work on your play scripts.

Your play projects are due on the 24 of January. You need a minimum of 2 ten minute plays (roughly 20 pages collectively), or a one-act play (about 20 pages or more). Students working on a full length play should keep writing. A full length play is the equivalent for our purposes of two one-act plays (about 40 pages or more). Traditionally, a full length script for stage is anywhere between 60 and 120 pages.

HOMEWORK: None, but your play projects are due on the 24.
