Period 1: Please get into groups of 3-4 and read the first scene of Wait Until Dark. As you read, notice how the setting helps create the mood and how the characters interact with it.
Setting is not just TIME, but LOCATION, weather, season, and, in plays: props. Notice what props are used in the scene and for what purpose. What props do each of the characters have in their possession in this scene?
Period 2: In the lab, write a short scene in play format (for play format please refer to the handout) where an OBJECT (prop) plays an important role in the action of the scene. Use what you've read today as inspiration perhaps. If you can't think of a prop, list objects in the setting until you find one that holds some significance.
