Day 10: MC! MA!

Inquiry
What does it mean to be an ally across race, class or age? How might you have been an ally across one of those lines?

Discussion

  • Finish up Isabel
  • Review packet re Fugard, glossary and South Africa
  • Scene 4 vs Scene 6 (Mr M & Thami) (in four groups)

You and your group members are going to re-read your assigned soliloquy and re-write it, being sure to answer the following questions. You can be playful with your writing, but you must capture the basic elements listed below. The goal is to really understand your character, where he's coming from, and where he's going.

Who he is? (the facts)
What inspires him? (the events)
What frustrates him? (the circumstances)
What does he want? (the ideas)
What tone does he use? (how does he share his information)
What has he experienced in South Africa? (be specific)
How have those experiences shaped his view of the world?
How will he survive?

  • Review the poems
  • Look at scene 5 (tension/how staged?)
