Remember that all "research" requires a "Works Cited" page. Let's stay focused and do the best job we can.


1. Warm up.

This is a common method of Advancing scenes: accept everything said and/or done and do something with it. Also used as a verb: Yes-anding.

Stanislavski talks about motivation.  Remember that this is what moves your character.

For your monologue you will create and develop a character.  Then you will put it all into context. Create a basic story line in which your character would be delivering this monologue.  Keeping this in mind will help you stay focused on what you want the character to say and why they are saying it;)

2.  Warm-up - crying on command

3. Work on your monologue -  Monologue due November 2, 3, 9.

Remember that you need a Character Worksheet, the script that support the delivery of your monologue.  Your monologue must be memorized.

4.   Write a reflection at the end of class. (What did you learn today? How did it affect you? How will you use this information? etc.)
