Driving Miss Daisy Notes Due; Dashboard Drama Exercise; Collaborative Script

Please turn in your Driving Miss Daisy questions in Google classrooms by 7:30. Late penalties will now apply to your homework/assignments/projects. Please make sure you turn in your work on time to avoid late penalties.

Period 1:

Please complete our viewing and discussion of your collaborative scenes with the acting majors. When we are done viewing your scripts, we will return to our own room to continue our course. The theater majors will be rehearsing and filming your scenes today and Wednesday. Make sure that you have completed and shared a script with your actors and given your scene a title!

Period 2:

Let's spend a little bit of time discussing Driving Miss Daisy & The Colored Museum. What did you notice about the way in which they were written? How "realistic" did they seem? What theatrical conventions or staging effects seemed most important or creative? How are these plays different from films?

We will then, with time remaining, see a few scenes from The Colored Museum that we missed from last week's classes.

HOMEWORK: None. Turn in any missing work or projects.
