2. Work with your partner or group to make a plan for your script’s ideas, structure, and use of language by answering the following questions:
Ideas: Which characters will we need to include in our script? How will we use dialogue to convey characterization and tell the story? Will we use narrators? If so, how many? How will the narration contribute characterization and other story elements?
Structure: What are the key elements of our story’s plot—beginning, middle, and end? How will we provide exposition? What is our conflict? What complications are to be developed? How will we sequence events?
Use of Language: What stage directions for actor movement and tone could we include? How will we use imagery to create a mood? How else can we engage our audience? What other script writing conventions will we need to follow?
3. Working with your partner or group, create a draft by transforming another text into a script. Make a copy of the draft on a separate page.
