Final Playwriting Class

Well, we've reached the end of this course. Today, please complete your one-act play project and turn these in. Remember to proofread your work before printing!

Good luck on your other assessments and mid-terms next week.

The good news is that the skills you have gained in playwriting will help you when writing film scripts next semester. In your fiction writing, hopefully, you can apply the dramatic structures covered in this course to strengthen your characters, plots, and conflicts. Writers of fiction should also benefit from the use of dialogue, as this is one of the harder skills for many writers.

As a final recap, if you complete your play today and have some time, take a look at these videos. Otherwise, take a look at them next week or when you're wondering why you are a writer...
Don't fret. You will be able to continue your playwriting next year in Writing Across Cultures if you miss it. Also, the Geva Playwriting Contest is coming up, so don't forget to enter! Our playwrights festival is scheduled for June 7.

HOMEWORK: None. If you have any missing work, please get it turned in.
