2 Character Scene Exercise

This morning it's raining. You might as well write.

Using the basic scene starter (read handout) please create a scene with a beginning, middle, and end for two characters. Like 'Night Mother or Freud's Last Stand characters in two-person plays require a central conflict. See the conflict info from last post (see below) for details.

You may work alone or with one partner. If you are working with a partner, both writers should create their own character. Briefly discuss what you are planning and then write (Google Docs works well for this since you don't need to be sitting next to one another!)

Use the proper play format for your scripts. I would suggest left justifying your text at first--keep the spacing correct--and then move things into alignment by the end of class (around 9:20-9:25).

Please turn in your work (wherever you are with the assignment) at the end of class. You will be graded on your progress and writing--so hop to it! This is, of course, just a draft. Relax. Write. Repeat.

HOMEWORK: None. Geva trip tomorrow at 9:30.
