So we are going to make our own short monologues that we will work on each week. Each week I will ask you to write a little about your “character” using the tools we learned in the first half of the semester. It is going to be really great and I am excited to see what you will create.
We will eventually video and post our short monologues here in our Virtual Classroom, but for now, let’s just take the first steps.
For your Written assignment for March 31st, I want you to watch one (or more - they can be helpful later) of the videos linked below. They are simple one-person monologues. These monologues are like little letters from the speaker to an unseen person. Remember that as we build our own monologues.
After watching the monologues, answer these two questions in a post:
1. In the Online Monologue, who was the character on the screen speaking to? You can do one or more of the characters. one sentence each
2. What are three things that are on your mind right now? It can be inspired by the Monologue you watched or by the play you read or just what you, yourself are thinking about these days. What are you worried about or curious about or proud about or learning about or daydreaming about? Just what is on your mind right now? at least three sentences or as many as you like
Post your Written Answers on this discussion thread: please DO NOT put your answers in a comment. You can title your post whatever title you like. It is due by Monday, April 6that 11:59 pm.
Online Monologue Examples
These are Fake; they are not real people. I thought it might be helpful to see some examples of online monologues. These are longer than the ones you will be making. But maybe they can inspire you a little. Ignore the Mad Deep chatbot you might see; just watch the video.
