project 4

1. Project 4: Drama: 100 points
Teams of four students will write, produce, and perform at ten minute play.
Rules
• Everyone must contribute to the writing, though everyone might not contribute
equally.
• Everyone must play some part in the creation, production, design, or delivery of the
presentation.
• Everyone must be in class on both presentation days to get full credit for the
project.
• All presentations are due at our last meeting before finals. I must have a copy
before class begins. We will use a lottery to choose the order of
performances/productions.
Expectations
• All students will participate enthusiastically.
• Group members will establish realistic goals that work for everyone.
• Group members will keep their agreements about what they will accomplish in a
given time.
• Group members will see me immediately if someone in the group needs
“encouragement” to manage a share of the work.
Suggestions
• Set up an electronic collaboration system to minimize scheduling problems.
• Appoint a note-taker within your group.
• Assign different members leadership jobs in different aspects of the project:
planning, coordinating, research, IT skills, writing skills, presentation skills.
• Make a plan that assures your project is ready on time.
• Check video or computer needs ahead of time.
• Let me know well ahead of time if you need me to help you do something.
