How do we write a play?
1) Plan out the scene in your notebook. What will your play focus on? Who will be
involved? What will be the problem? How will it get resolved?
2) Each group should assign a role to each member. Everyone is responsible for writing the
scene and each member should have a role in the actual play. Memorized plays will get
extra credit!
