Short play/Drama You can work in groups of 1-4. The topic can be anything that is appropriate for school. Remember, this is an English class, so you are being evaluated on your ability to speak . Therefore, the majority of your play should involve the actors speaking to each other.   You do not need to memorize your play, but you should be very familiar with your lines, able to make eye contact with the audience, and use gestures/body language. You can record a video of your performance or perform live in front of the class. If you perform in front of class, I will make a video of your performance to help with my grading.
