Honors MYP And Regular MYP Writing Drama: Day 5 (Revising) Friday, September 19, 2014
Independent Reading • Please take out your choice reading book BEFORE class begins. • You will need to read for 10 minutes.
Objective, Agenda, & Homework • Objective: Students will revise their writing and explain their goals and intentions for their writing. • Agenda: • Independent Reading • Writer’s Memo • Focus Lesson: Revision • Writing Time: Revision • Homework: • Honors MYP: Greek roots 16-20 worksheet is due Monday. • Regular MYP: Study Greek roots 1-8.
Memo Requirements for a Play • On loose leaf paper, write your memo in paragraph form. Be sure to address each item below. • What is the theme of your play? In other words, what lesson did a character learn or what lesson should a character have learned? • How did you demonstrate your theme in the play? • What do you think you did well during the writing process of the play? Why? • What was a struggle for you as you were writing? • What do you still want feedback on from me (the teacher)?
Focus Lesson: Revision • RADAR: Replace, Add, Delete, and Reorder • Consider how you will be scored. • Structure is written as a play with dialogue • Characters are well-developed • Setting/scene is vividly described • The conflict develops throughout the plot • The theme is clearly demonstrated • Stage directions enhance the reader’s understanding • Areas of concern for a one-act play: • Did you get into the action of the play quickly? Or do you have a lot of unnecessary dialogue? • Is your dialogue natural? Does it sound the way the characters would actually talk?
Writing Time • You have the remainder of the period to finish and revise your play to be turned in at the end of class. • Look at the feedback you received from your group yesterday. • Try to emphasize your strong areas and revise your weaker areas. • Remember to RADAR. • Remember to edit your dialogue. • Make sure the feedback from your group is written and clearly labeled somewhere on the play. • If you finish early, you should read your book.
