Great Expectations: Skit Prep

Next week, as we finish the novel, you will be writing and performing a skit based on one of the best parts of the novel. In preparation for the skit assignment, think about your favorite parts of the book. What are the most memorable parts? Which parts of the novel would be exciting to watch your classmates perform?

Post: List three parts of the novel that you would like to see performed in class. Describe each "scene" briefly, with reference to important characters and action, and state why you think each of these parts would be good material for a skit.

By Friday, you should have read through chapter 54. Please don't reveal anything from the final four chapters of the book: restrict your choice of "favorite parts" through chapter 54.

Comment: In your comment on a classmate's blog, choose which of the three parts
you would most like to use for your skit next week.

  1. I am not going to be here next Thursday and Friday to perform the skits, so do you want me to write one and turn it in, or I can write the skit for a group and have them perform it?
