Reader’s Theater—Group Project

Step 1:	Finish reading the play “Sorry, Wrong Number”  as a group or on your own.

Step 2:	In your groups you will rewrite the play “Sorry, Wrong Number.”

Requirements:	Each group will write one play together.  (50 points) You will need to write it neatly and turn in a copy for me.  You may want to each write a copy of it, since each group member will need a copy to use when performing.  Every group member is expected to participate equally.  One or two group members should not have to do all of the work.

•	You will keep the same main plot as the play we read, but can change the characters’ names, the setting, the wording, the title, etc.  Use your imagination and have fun with it.
•	The play needs to be grammatically correct and you need to spell the words correctly.

The Presentation: (one per group) (50 points)
Theme:	You and your group will perform your rewritten play and the rest of the class will evaluate your play and the performance.  

Requirements:	You will need to practice it and perform it the best way you can, complete with props and costumes.

	You will also need to critique other groups on their performance and on their plays.

NOTE:	IF YOU ARE ABSENT ON THE DAY THAT YOUR GROUP PERFORMS THE PLAY, YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE POINTS FOR THE PERFORMANCE.  SIMILARLY, POINTS WILL BE DEDUCTED FOR YOUR GROUP WORK FOR EVERY DAY THAT YOU ARE ABSENT DURING THIS WEEK.  SINCE YOU WILL BE GIVEN TIME IN CLASS TO PREPARE THE PLAY, YOU MUST BE HERE EVERYDAY TO RECEIVE FULL CREDIT!!!
