Staging a myth (or anything else)

 English 8:

You have a copy of the play "Raven and the First Men".  You are going to present this story to the class.  Ms. Kosar has selected your groups.  Sit together and read the story out loud.  Choose roles for everyone.  (Perhaps some people will have to play more than one role.  The person who plays Raven will have to play just that role, because it is in most of the scenes.) Think of how to play your character.  (You will need to memorize your lines.)  You will want to talk with the group about how you want to set up the stage.  You should discuss lighting and sound or music for the play.  You will need to plan blocking (Ms. Kosar will want one script with all of this information on it.) What should the characters wear?  (Raven should likely be in black.) Think of interesting ways to present the story (mime, tableau, choral speaking).

We will perform on Thursday.  You can use PLT to practice if you need more time.
