I researched what exactly we may need and want to include when it comes to writing a play as I have never written one before. Some are pretty obvious, but there are a few terms that I just learned about. They include the following:
-Character
-Dialogue
-Conflict
-Scene
-Stage Directions: messages from the playwright to the actors, technicians, and others in the theatre telling them what to do and how to do it.
-Setting
-Biography: Characters life story that a playwright creates.
-Monolgue
-Dramatic Action:an explanation of what the characters are trying to do.
-Beat: a smaller section of a scene, divided where a shift in emotion or topic occurs.
-Plot: the structure of a play, including exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and denouement.
-Exposition: the beginning part of a plot that provides important background information.
-Rising Action:the middle part of a plot, consisting of complications and discoveries that create conflict.
-Climax:the turning point in a plot.
I have been brainstorming a little, but may have one or maybe to decent ideas.
I have an idea for a mystery play. I would prefer to discuss ideas and then choose one, but in case we don't get the chance, we have something.

ReplyDeleteI see your name! And great research! So I am not sure how we want to plug this into a concept map, and what did you have in mind for a mystery play? Also Katlyn where are you??
