Student Writer Instructions:
So if Cindy Ellen and her Cowboy Prince found themselves being interviewed about "true love" on the Oprah show, what interesting questions might Oprah ask them? What responses to Oprah's questions might Cindy Ellen and her Cowboy Prince provide? How would you write out their responses so that they sounded like they came from the Wild West?
Today, you and a small group will be writing an original script that you will eventually perform in front of the class. In your script, all group members must have a speaking part.
The subject of your script will be this: characters from a fairy tale are the guests on an Oprah-like talk show. While on the show, they must re-tell the story that we know about them as they are interviewed.
Here's your big challenge: Choose interesting words--perhaps even use dialects--that give your script's characters unique voices.
Before you perform, make sure you rehearse. And have fun!
