It is perfectly acceptable to use Plautus' language in Menaechmi and adapt what he wrote. How does this character act? What does this character feel or think about the others? What does this character want or hope to do (motivation)? Why does s/he act/feel/think this way? Please try to use a variety of vocabulary and sentence structures (e.g., participles, subordinate clauses, indirect speech) as a review. Write one paragraph (5-6 sentences) about one character in the play we have seen so far. Thursday: Character sketch about one character due at 5:00 p.m. Before presenting the scene, be sure to name the people and their parts and identify the line number at which the scene begins and ends. Please make the recording in CAN-8 (Day 12) by using the same mike/headset for everyone. Then record it convincingly with feeling and accuracy. Before recording, practice with the other people you have invited to present the scene. Try to capture the meaning, sound effects, and humor through your phrasing and intonation. This exercise is designed to help you become more comfortable with reading Latin expressively and accurately. Record the scene in both Latin and English, based on the lines that you have chosen in Latin or in English. No one who is not acting should have to do a scene without an actor in the mix. If the scene has more than two actors, try to divide the parts evenly between actors and non-actors. Each actor should choose a scene of 50-70 lines to record with at least one other who is not in the scene. Tuesday: record a scene with others due at 5:00 p.m. Monday: summary/reaction of an article on the play due at 9:00 a.m. Wednesday: Sets & Publicity/House Managers In the 1st pl active and utor in the 3rd pl passive What needs to be kept that contributes to character development, plot, character motivation, and comic interest?
