Teams of four students will write, produce, and perform a ten minute play for a drama class project worth 100 points. All students must contribute to writing or producing the play and be present for both performance days to receive full credit. Presentations are due on the last class meeting before finals and the performance order will be chosen by lottery. Students are expected to participate enthusiastically, establish realistic goals, and keep their agreements. They should see the professor immediately if any group member is not pulling their weight. Suggestions include using an electronic collaboration system, appointing roles like note-taker, and assigning leadership jobs to different aspects of the project.
