GRADE 10 DRAMA SCRIPTED SCENE ASSIGNMENT

You will now have the opportunity to use all of the knowledge youve accumulated so far to present a
fully-memorized, costumed, blocked and rehearsed scene in front of the class. You may search for
scenes on your own, or choose from those I have gathered. I MUST approve your scene choice BEFORE
you begin working on it.

Schedule
On_______________________________________________, I will conduct a memory test and you and
your partner must be completely off-book by the beginning of class on this day.
Names will be drawn randomly on ____________________________________________to determine
running order.
Beginning on _____________________________________________ and continuing to
_____________________________________________, we will view performances of the scenes we
have been preparing in class over the past week.
Make sure you and your partner attend all classes so that you get the maximum rehearsal time.
