Unfortunately, I'm not here today as I'm in a conference in the States (awesome!) It turns out the ELA 30-1s won't be here either as they are on a field trip with Biology...That leaves us with my 30-2 class (minus Cheyenne). I heard you guys aren't big fans of acting and since I'm not there to spice things up, I'm going to let you off the hook (as they say) and alter my assignment somewhat.
On this site there is a series of role play scenarios. Read through all of them. Get into partners. Choose one role play assignment and then get into pairs. Decide the character that each is playing and then write this at the top of your page. Be specific. Say things like: Best friend who is already married, has a good job, loves to go out at night, etc. You need to know WHO you are in the role play.
Your task is to then create a series of text messages back and forth between these people. It's up to you the time frame. You can refer to action that has happened in between conversations.
You can do this by creating a google doc. One person will "text" the other and then the other will reply back. Try to stay in character. Your texts should answer the questions posed in the scenarios.
When you have finished, share your role play with another team.
