    Firstly… a quick note from Miss Freeman


    about your Results
    • Term 1 result is the average between your performance and
    theory.

    • Some people’s results have been pulled down as a result of their


    theory mark.

    • Theory work is IMPORTANT. We need to go into this next unit


    giving as much effort and respect into our theory as we do with the
    practical aspects.

    • From now on, everyone needs to bring a book – (not a laptop or


    an Ipad) to class every lesson in case we need to review some
    theory.

    “
    A play is a work of drama, usually
    consisting mostly of dialogue
    between characters and intended for
    theatrical performance rather than
    just reading. The writer of a play is
    a playwright.
    6

    The og Playwright

    Aeschylus, a playwright, invented what


    we now call drama when he wrote a play
    that featured two actors and a chorus, who
    symbolized the common people or
    sometimes the gods.
    Important Vocabulary (1) 7

    Today we will look at some vocabulary that is


    important for our upcoming unit.

    We need to start with the idea of prefixes, suffixes


    and root words.

    Copy the purple, red and green boxes into your


    notes.
    Important Vocabulary (2) 8

    Important Vocabulary (5)

    Prologue - An introduction that sets up the story.

    For example, the prologue from Romeo & Juliet states “Two
    households both alike in dignity, in fair Verona…” – This tells us
    about the setting and that the story centres around two families.
    12
    Important Vocabulary (6)

    Dialogue – Words travelling between people (between actors, or


    between actors and audience)

    Epilogue - Dialogue at the end of a play – it summarises and helps to


    conclude any loose ends.

    Important Vocabulary (7)

    Internal monologue / Soliloquy – Dialogue that shows the characters


    innermost thoughts and feelings.

    Aside – Dialogue that breaks out of the scene and is spoken TO the
    audience. Other characters would not typically hear this dialogue.

    Performance Evaluation

    ➜ Use the checklist to


    record how you
    think you went in
    the table read of the
    play.
    16

    Script reading
    ➜ Next we will break into groups, and assign roles for a
    reading.
    ➜ After the reading you will need to answer these
    questions….

    ➜ What went well?


    ➜ What was tricky?
    ➜ Did you find it easier or harder to “become” the character
    than in an improvised performance? Why?
    17

    Next lesson
    We will look at a variety of scripts and make some decisions
    about our upcoming dualogue performances.
