Screenplay Introduction

Hello Scriptwriters!

Today we begin our foray into the world of screenwriting.  We will play with this format for a few weeks.  It is fun.  It is different.  It is very specific.  You will get to work with classmates and you will get to perform your script as well.  There is a lot of opportunity and we will play with a variety of mentor texts to give you ideas.  Yay!
