Telling the Turkle and Deresiewicz story

In groups of three or four you will write a script--about two to four characters who overcome the real world challenges Turkel and Deresiewicz describe. You may have a narrator and actors or all be actors. Think of what we lose, according to the authors, and how we might get them back.

Your final scene will be scored Wednesday according to the following system:

Realistic-- even if exaggerated--characters Superhero, Villain, Citizens: 15 pts

Clear conflict--i.e. the main characters struggle believably: 15 pts.

Realistic, clear crisis and solution: 30 pts

Modified script format: 30 pts

CHARACTER NAME(s)--description


SETTING: present, past, future, geography, rooms place(s) etc.


ACTION: describe things that happen, or have happened that dialogue won't cover


For dialogue--here's a real script which we are just approximating.

example:

SUZY the EMPATHY EMPRESS:  How do you feel, CITIZEN GEORGE?

CITIZEN GEORGE: (looking at his phone) Who are you? Why do you want to know? Go away. I have to go back to work at DroneLand.

MR. DRONE:(coming into the room) GEORGE, where are you? Get back to work. Those phones won't answer themselves.
