Read through chapter 7 for Monday. Now let's be a little creative!!! Write a minimum of a ten line monologue to perform in drama class on Monday. Write and in turn deliver the monologue (speech) as if you were a character in All Quiet on the Western Front. Be passionate, be thoughtful, be CREATIVE.
A monologue is a speech that one actor delivers in a play. Before you get started, consider these questions!!!
WHERE IS THIS PERSON SPEAKING?
WHO IS LISTENING?
WHAT IS THE MAIN THING THEY ARE GOING TO TALK ABOUT?
NOW CHOOSE A STARTING LINE that will capture the audience's attention.
--------------------------------
IN YOUR WRITING:
Description of the Setting using imagery (time, place, what is in the space physically (ie It's 9pm in war torn Europe. John is sitting in an empty barrack on a chillingly cold day in the winter of 1914. There is an old, iron bed in the corner which appears rusty and worn. John sits on the floor, obviosuly annoyed, next to the bed struggling to take his wet boots off after a long day in the field. Mumbling under his breath as he looks desperately for a pen and paper, he finally after a few moments begins to write this letter...)
Monologue:....(minimum of 10 lines)
Your monologue should directly connect to the conflict, actions, thoughts, dilemas, themes, and realities that character is experiencing or you imagine he may be experiencing up through chapter 7 in the text.
Some of you will read/perform your monologue in drama class Monday.
