Screenplay - Day 3

Hello Scriptwriters!


You now know the parts of a script and proper formatting technique.  You have had time to brainstorm and practice.  You read from a script and actually held it in your hands...a first for some!  So now we need to HEAR what good writing sounds like - what it LOOKS like when brought to life - off of the page.  Remember - it ALL starts on the page.  

1.  SWT - What are you excited about, intimidated about with this unit?
* Be specific. Write a poem about it  ; )
* Discussion   
2.  Screenwriting
* Mentor Texts - SNL Skits,
* Master of None - Thanksgiving Episode
* Take Notes - Do you see the writers intentions, style, can borrow, can you emulate and make it your own.  Think birthdays, holidays, different ages where you realized new insights about life/yourself.
