Project 4
Rationale: For project four, I will be focusing on screenplay writing. I would like to take the basic
structure seen in screenplays (Slug Line, Action, Character Name, Dialogue, and Parentheticals) and
have students create three scenes following this structure. These three scenes will either be a
reimagining of scenes from a preexisting movie, book, comic, etc. or an adaptation of another form
of media (book, comic, etc.). Students will be working in groups of four to write these scenes. Each
scene must be three minutes long, totaling in nine minutes. This would be the equivalent of nine
pages in the screenplay. Students will be looking at different examples of screenplays, each of these
examples being pulled from different genres, as well as learning how to use the free screenplay
writing software Celtx. Celtx does the entire specific screenplay formatting for its users, making
screenplay writing quite accessible to beginners. Conferencing and work shopping will be done in
class before students have to turn in their rough drafts. Further work shopping will be done before
final drafts must be turned in. In addition to turning in a final draft of their screenplay, students will
be filming themselves acting out their scenes to share to the class and will be given days to film and
edit in class prior to presentation day.
Written Unit Objectives:
 Students will be able to define screenwriting terminology, such as Slug Line, Action,
Character Name, Dialogue, and Parentheticals.
 Students will be able to evaluate different examples of screenplays within different genres to
understand the potential ways of storytelling.

 Students will be able to effectively use screenwriting techniques and its format to create one
scene for their screenplays.

discussed in class. Your assignment for this screenplay unit is to write 3 scenes of your own
screenplay (9 pages long). You will be working in groups of 4 to write these scenes and your scenes
must either be a reimagining of scenes from a preexisting movie, book, comic, etc. or an adaptation
of another form of media (book, comic, etc.). You will be using a screenplay writing software called
Celtx to help in writing your screenplays. In addition to turning in a final draft of their screenplay,
you will be filming yourselves acting out your scenes to share to the class and will be given days to
film and edit in class prior to presentation day. Each scene must be 3 minutes long, the entire
presentation being 9 minutes total.
