Here are the directions for the Speaking II and IV Final Projects. Please ask me if you have any questions. I’m looking forward to being in the audience!
Speaking II Final Project Directions
Description: Write and create a drama to be performed in class
Due Date: Wednesday July 4
Time Length: 8-10 minutes
Directions: In groups of 4 or 5, you will create a drama/skit for class. You will be randomly assigned your topic. Topics include going to the bank, going to the doctor, going to a restaurant, going on a date, going to the airport, or going to a hotel.
Requirements:
1) Group members must share all the dialogue equally, with about the same number of lines.
2) Groups must have all or almost all their dialogue memorized so that it sounds natural.
3) Groups must use the vocabulary related to their topic.
4) Costumes, props, and scenery are highly encouraged.
5) The drama must meet the time requirement. One letter grade will be deducted for every minute the drama is too short . (Example: If your drama is 7 minutes, the highest grade you can receive is a B. If your drama is 6 minutes, the highest grade you can receive is a C.) This means you must rehearse before class to make sure your drama is long enough.
