Writing Response What do you think the differences are between plays and novels?

Plays are different than stories in books, but you can still imagine what’s happening while you are reading a play. Plays are written to be acted out on stage. Books are written so you can imagine the action in your head. Plays include stage directions, a set, dialogue, and some narration. With plays and theatre, you must ACT – be the character using your body, voice, emotions, and imagination. Plays still have the parts of a story and includes a theme.

Major Elements of Drama Dialogue – characters talking to each other. Find an example in your script. Action – the physical things the characters do in the play, including facial expressions. Setting – stage, lights, scenery.

Play Genres Drama – a serious subject matter. Comedy – a play that is light-hearted and funny. Tragedy – the events lead to the downfall of the main character.

Important Vocabulary Acts – units of action divided into parts called scenes. Dialogue – words the characters say. There are no quotation marks used in a play. Script – printed form of a play

Stage Directions – information usually in italics or in parentheses that tells what the stage should look like or how the character should feel or where the character should move on stage. Set – construction on stage that shows the time and place of the play. Props – moveable items or objects the actors use to make their actions more realistic.

Closing: T-P-S Of all the novels you have read this year, which one do you think would make the best play? What genre is it and explain why it would make a good play.
