You will:
 answer the Superhero/villain Questionnaire;

Questionnaire: (daily grade#1)
The Questions are on the second page of this packet. Answers to all of these
questions are due at the beginning of class on Friday, November 20. The answers
to these questions will help guide the writing of your monologue.
Monologue: (major grade #1)
A monologue is a long speech spoken by one person, revealing personal thoughts and
feelings. After you have answered the questions on the Questionnaire, you will write a
monologue for your superhero/villain. This is an ORIGINAL monologue that should
include (but is not limited to):
 their ability and/or how they got their power
 their feelings about their role in society
 their weakness or flaw
 a story about one of their encounters
The monologue should be at least 30 seconds in length. Time it with the clock on the
wall. The completed monologue is due at the beginning of class on Tuesday,
December 1.

You will design a chest logo to give us a better visualization of your character. You may
use construction paper (provided) or something you bring from home. You may bring
anything to add to your chest logo with the exception of glitter. You must design it on
the template included in this packet then actually create it on other paper. The design is
part of your grade and must be approved before you can begin construction. Your
completed Chest Logo is due at the beginning of class on Thursday, December 3.

exception of glitter. You must design it on the template included in this packet then
