Monologue Work
* If you have not yet selected a monologue from a PUBLISHED play, you NEED to do that ASAP!
* Once you have your monologue, obtain a copy of the play, if you can. (Utelize the libraries. Here's a link to their online catelog: www.chipublib.org. It may take a few weeks for a library to transfer your play to your local library, and that's okay! That's why we're having you start this process now. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BUY THE PLAY!)
* Read the play!
* Memorize your monologue.
9/11 Project - Due 9/20/12
* Research the 9/11 attacks.
* Watch this webcast, if you can: http://www.911memorial.org/
(As long as you do some form of research - even if you just watch the nightly news, you should be able to complete this assignment.)
* IN YOUR JOURNAL write a 1 page monologue about 9/11. Develop a character. Are you a broadcaster, a student, a firefighter in New York, a worker at the Pentagon, a child? How old are you? What year is it? Think about where you are. Are you at the airport, work, in a classroom? There are no real restrictions to how you write this. Be CREATIVE, but know the facts.
***Please see the JOURNAL REQUIREMENTS tab prior to completing the assignment.
