Academic Discourse Workshop
🎯Review Academic Discourse Workshop Objectives
🎭To prepare for our reading/viewing of The Crucible by Arthur Miller, we’ll explore the different ways context, music and blocking can change the meaning of a scene. As a group, you will choose one of the five attached “open scenes” then determine a context for it and fill the following roles:
Actor A
Actor B
Narrator- Introduce and describe scene for the audience
Special Effects - Determine and acquire appropriate music for the scene
Note: Narrator/Special Effects can be the same person. All context, music, acting etc. must be school appropriate.
🎭Rehearse “open scenes” to prepare for performances tomorrow.
