    Romeo and Juliet Scene Re-write ~ The Assignment


    In a group, work together to rewrite a scene from Shakespeare. The goal is to understand the plot and
    characters of Romeo and Juliet and to be just like Shakespeare: steal a good story and turn it into something
    new and amazing! When you are writing: think like an actor, think like a director, think like a props-person!
    What can you do to make this scene really entertaining?

    Tasks:
    Step 1 – With your group, decide on a theme that everyone likes
    Step 2 – Break up the lines (not caring who will be speaking them in the end) into equal chunks. Each
    person in the group is responsible for re-writing their assigned chunk of lines. These re-writes are just a
    first draft. They are ideas and might be changed at any point! You will turn in a paper copy of your re-
    written lines to show how you contributed to your group’s success. (HOMEWORK FOR NOVEMBER
    27)
    If you have talked to Ms. Elbert about being an Exception group, you will turn in a paragraph describing:
    at least two ideas you contributed to the group, and one way (be specific) that you helped the group to
    work well as a team.
    Step 3 – Work as a team to put all the rewritten pieces together into one script. Pay attention to:
    ⇒ character (Do the characters have personalities that stay the same through the scene? They should
    have strong personalities! How will the lines show their personalities? How will their actions
    show their personalities?)
    ⇒ stage directions (Did you start with a setting? Did you list every entry and exit for each
    character? Do you have stage directions for fights, moving props, or mega-moments? Did you put
    in a tone of voice (eg. sarcastic, flirty, sad) for important lines?)
    ⇒ showing the theme (How do the rewritten lines show your theme? Do you need any costumes or
    props? Who will be responsible for making / bringing each prop and costume? Where at school
    would you like to film your scene?)
    Step 4 – On Friday we will film our scenes at various locations through the school. BRING YOUR FINAL
    COPY SCRIPT.

    Final Product:

    1 script per group including rewritten lines and stage directions. Must be typed and have all
    contributing members’ names on the paper. DUE BEGINNING OF CLASS FRIDAY

    1 handwritten set of lines per person to show what you contributed to the group’s rewrite
    ( OR if exception group, one paragraph describing two specific ideas you contributed to the
    group and one specific way that you helped the group to work as a team)

    1 video of actors playing parts. May be edited or unedited. May use scripts or be memorized.
    Must include at least 1 costume and at least 1 prop. DUE END OF CLASS FRIDAY
