Assignment: Monologues change based on the situation “moments before” it occurs. You must imagine and create three different “moment before” scenarios after reading your monologue.

• Demonstrate the character’s feelings, emotions and state of mind, which should vary greatly;

• Should be written in standard paragraph form with close attention to detail; 100 word minimum for each

• Include in the writing setting references to the text of the monologue, and the emotional response to the scenario. (one of these will be chosen for your final monologue performance)

Choosing the right emotion… based on the different scenarios—what emotion would your character be portraying ? You will be expected to show that you can convey three different emotions through your character effectively.

• This checklist provides suggestions; teachers and students are encouraged to add new emotions/states of mind.

|Emotion/State of mind |Yes, the student can convey the emotion. |No, the student needs assistance in |
