We+are+writing+a+play

We are writing an imaginative play where the characters go on a journey. First we need to think about what would happen. We thought about the exciting bits that we were going to put into our play, this was the climax/s. Then we planned the building action and the declining action. We used a simple timeline to show this action. We then planned in detail our characters, thinking of them as major characters and minor characters. We tried to have different personalities so that our story would be richer. We drew each character and put some words around them. Next we planned the setting/s. We drew a map to show the different places the story happened and how the places were related. Then we write our draft on the computer using the ideas on our plan. Most of us revised our draft a number of times to get it right. We assembled our play in a video box. Everything was very small and this was a challenge. We then performed our plays and recorded them as video. Below are the results from left to right; Kyle working at the computer on his draft, Hogan and Pauly working on a plan, Kyl's map of where the story takes place and James'story plan.
