ELA: Finish your two dramatic assignments -- a one+ page autobiographical monologue AND one of the following:
- A one+ page fictional monologue whereby you are a character (not yourself). You might begin:
"My name is Bob Johnson. I am an alien. I believe that I was sent to Earth to bring joy to all people, especially tall people. See, on my planet tall people are highly revered. I would love it if the tall people here on Earth were to feel just as terrific as the tall people on my planet, so I am on a mission. Oh, by the way...my planet is called Gargantuan..."
- A three+ page fictional dialogue whereby you design a conversation between two or more characters. You might begin:
Bob: Hi, Carla. How are you?
Carla: Shut up, Bob. Don't you know I don't like to talk in the morning, especially to you.
Bob: Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?
Carla: Because you always repeat yourself.
