Writing Workshop 9 (continued)
8 SpringBoard® Writing Workshop with Grammar Activities Grade 7
Use of Language: What stage directions and dialogue cues for vocal and visual delivery could we include? How will we use diction and imagery to create a mood? How else can we engage our audience? What other script writing conventions will we need to follow?
Drafting the Script
4. Working with your teacher and classmates, create a draft by transforming another text into a script. Make a copy of the draft on a separate page.
Check Your Understanding
After you have completed this process, read over the script that your class has created. Refer to the Scoring Guide to help determine how well the script meets the criteria for this assignment. Next, consider the following:
• How did we convey characterization through dialogue and/or narration?
• How did we establish and convey setting?
• Did our script have a clear beginning, middle, and end?
• How did we provide exposition?
• What was our conflict, and how did we resolve it?
• How did our complications build toward a climax or turning point?
• How did we use stage directions or dialogue cues to enhance the
performance by informing vocal and visual delivery?
• Did we follow the conventions of script writing, including punctuation of
dialogue?
• How did we use diction, imagery, and other techniques to create a mood and
engage our audience?
