Instructions:

1. Please look over your assigned sections of the Act.

2. Decide what Carol and John each want to accomplish in your assigned section (i.e., to get a ham sandwich, to kill the king, to express frustration over failed love love relationships, to win the big game, etc.)

3. On your copy of the script, write down four possible actions, vocal inflections, strategies, etc. the characters could use to accomplish their goals.

4.  On your script, keep track of the status symbols each character uses in each moment. For a status refresher, take a look here.

5. I will be checking your notes in the book. Do not write notes in a separate document; keep them in your book. This will count as a quiz grade. Each individual person should work on his or her own and bring his or her own copy of the book. No exceptions. No excuses.

- Work on the articles you were assigned in class today. You will be graded primarily on your lede. This does not mean that you should skip the rest of the article, however.

- Here is a quick summary of things that need to appear in a lede.

- Here is an overview of what needs to appear in the rest of newspaper article.

- The newspaper, completed, printed out and in my hand, copy edited, and spell-checked, is due at the end of our next class.
