ESAME FINALE

PROGETTO FINALE PER ITA 1010: IL GIOCO DELLE COPPIE – THE DATING GAME
Rules of the Original Game:
The game consisted of a lady who would question three gentlemen, who were hidden from her view; at the end of the
questioning period, she would choose one to go out with on a date. The roles could be reversed with a man questioning
three ladies. Generally the lady would ask questions to each of the three hidden bachelors. The lady would make her
choice based solely on the answers to her questions.
Our Project: You choose the roles and each one of you in a group of max 4 people. Each student writes his/her own
script with three/five questions to ask each other. The questions cannot be the same. Try to find as much useful
information as you can to help you make your decision. Each person has to be detailed in his/er reply. At the end a
choice has to be made with an explanation on the reasons the choice was made.
This is a group project that can be filmed and/or performed in class the last days of class. Each student will have a role and
READING from notes will NOT be allowed.
