10th Graders - Dramatic Arc skit!


Based on one of the themes from Macbeth, write a short script where a major conflict occurs. use the following topics:

1. A girlfriend or boyfriend pushes you to do something illegal.

2. You and a friend here from a "reliable" source that ONE of you will get the thing you want the most. The other person, will get nothing.

3. Friends stay the night at someones house. In the middle of the night, you hear screaming. What happened? Why?

4. After years of friendship, you find out that your best friends know your deepest, darkest secret. When people start to find out, your secret could destroy you.



However, you are NOT allowed to use a narrator. All of the character traits and setting must be presented through dialogue.

For example: "Get off of the couch and chance your clothes. You're starting to smell like stale pizza." By reading this statement, you know that the character is a slob and that it takes places in a messy living room.

Your skit should be about 3-4 scenes long.
