Drafting the Monologue, Day 2: March 5, 2019

Focus: How can we use imagery in our monologues?

1. Warming up with reading a third-person monologue: Salvador Late or Early
  • An image is something that appeals to one of your five senses. Which three images in this piece are the most powerful for you?
  • How do these images help develop this character? What can you infer from them?

2. Drafting. conferencing, and self-editing your monologues
  • Are you establishing some of the conflicts in this character's life? 
  • Are you identifying a shift in your perspective / turning point / realization?
  • Are you / is your character coming to a bigger realization about yourself, others, or the world around you? What is resolved by the end of the monologue?
  • Are you using imagery to develop your character?
