9/16 Agenda:
- Feedback from last class (9/14).
- Brainstorm some contemporary issues/themes and subjects you might wish to use for ideas about what to write this year. Please do the following:
- On Padlet list some contemporary issues/themes that you can think of. [This is a tool for us to use as writers...this isn't about fooling around and joking...take the question seriously, please so that it is a helpful tool, rather than a waste of time.]
- Consider stories/novels you've read that are contemporary, other plays, films, or TV programs you've seen (what were their themes/issues?)
- Ex. coming of age, betrayal, redemption, falling in love, being true to oneself, honesty, dealing with family problems, death or loss, brutality, etc.
- You should also include photos (try to add at least 1) and video (again, try to add at least 1)
- Make sure you place your name on your padlet entry so I can give you credit for participating!
- Get started reading The Colored Museum in small groups. You should download the pdf file of the play script to your own computers. Go to Google Classroom, select the assignment "The Colored Museum", open the attached PDF script file, hit the 3 dots ... to select open file to "download", save to your computer. Open your file when reading in class.
HOMEWORK: #1 - Complete The Colored Museum by George C. Wolfe. As you read the monologues and scenes, pay close attention to how language and conflict within the monologues or scenes help to develop character and comment on important themes (such as identity, self-worth, race, freedom, etc.) Bring the play script with you to our next class (Friday) for a discussion of the play.
