Today, if you have finishing touches on your magazine, make them. Magazine projects turned in after today are considered late. No more time in the lab will be given to you to complete this project, so it's up to you to complete on your own time.

In the lab today:
Mr. Gabriele (director of the Black History Assembly) would like to commission the CW department to write 2-4 minute (2-5 page) sketches. The task:
1. Work alone or with 1 partner.
2. Choose one of the following time periods:
1. Work alone or with 1 partner.
2. Choose one of the following time periods:
- Slavery (Slave Rebellion) or Reconstruction
- Harlem Renaissance
- Civil Rights Movement
- The Obama Years...Yes, we can...
3. Research and find one real news article concerning your chosen time period. The easiest way is to type the topic and add newspaper article to the Google search. Once you have selected a news story, print it out. You will attach the article with your scene/script.
4. Read the article and inspire yourself. Use the article and information found in it to inspire your scene.
5. Scenes should be dramatic--skip all the exposition except for the climax of your scene.
6. Remember this is for a celebration of Black culture. This is not the time to get negative (at least the ending of your scene should have a tone of hope: Yes, we can...I have a dream...Free at last, free at last...).
7. Scenes should be written for 3-4 characters. If selected, you gain extra credit, can use the scene for your portfolio, and it will be performed by actors during the Black History Assembly. Otherwise, it's just class credit for the marking period.
Print out and turn in your draft (whatever you got) at the end of class. We might be expected to revise.
HOMEWORK: Complete all missing or incomplete work (including the Black History News Article draft if you did not complete it in class--although you should STILL print it out and hand in what you HAVE!)
