Assignment
For the role-play, students will work in groups to research the background of and critical responses to one or two course directors. They will then script or construct notes to improvise a 15-minute scenario that presents a dialogue between two directors, an exchange between a director and her audience, a discussion between a director and the characters in her films or an interchange between the director and her critics.
After the role-play, each group member will submit a typed, one- to two-page memo briefly describing his or her contribution to the project, listing the sources consulted by the group, and explaining why the role-play highlighted particular issues. Groups will also turn in one copy of their script or improvisation notes. These materials should be submitted the class period following the role-play date (Monday for a Wednesday role-play, Wednesday for a Monday role-play).
Remember that you may do only one role-play as an optional assignment.
Grading
I will use this grading scale to evaluate role-plays.
