Package a playable scene and revision note
See this course’s project requirements
An original 3–5-minute script with contrasting objectives, playable actions, purposeful dialogue, economical stage directions and a solo table-read revision.
Keep your working files in your own notebook or software. Save a private description, checklist, and work link in My Proof.
What to include
- Write a complete original two-person scene with beginning, turn and consequence.
- Show two objectives and at least two tactics.
- Supply essential setting/prop directions with consistent continuity.
- Include a turning-point revision and actual solo-review method.
Review and revise
Use these criteria to check your work and choose what to improve.
- Action: dialogue pursues concrete objectives.
- Structure: new evidence/actions cause the central turn.
- Playability: props and visible directions are coherent.
- Revision: review claims and before/after changes are traceable.

The idea in everyday life
Keep speaker names consistent, separate essential directions from dialogue and include the initial setting. The ending should show the consequence of the central confrontation. A personal portfolio can contain the script and solo review; outside actors or a staged performance are not required evidence.
A usable script lets someone locate who speaks and what changes.
Package a playable scene and revision note — worked practice
A usable script lets someone locate who speaks and what changes.
Model final beat: “[Dev lays the finished kite across the empty box.] ROWAN: ‘Now the table.’ DEV: ‘Together?’ ROWAN: ‘You promised both.’ [They take opposite ends of the folded tabletop.] The gift is prepared, but Dev’s bargain still has a consequence. A title page lists two roles, one community room, a box/kite/key and estimated 3–5 minutes, with the actual solo-review method separately recorded.
1. 6.1 Package
Assemble the setting and full beginning/turn/ending into a complete original script. A typical 3–5-minute target may need roughly 400–650 spoken words plus pauses; actual pace varies and an accessible alternative can be documented.
You should see: A full script exists beyond planning notes.
2. 6.2 Package
Apply consistent speaker labels and a distinct direction style. Keep cast, props and place requirements small enough for the stated scene.
You should see: The two roles and essential directions are easy to identify.
3. 6.3 Package
Audit the last beat against both objectives. Show the consequence of a choice and preserve any deliberate unresolved relationship issue.
You should see: The finished kite and table duty follow the bargain.
4. 6.4 Package
Deliver the script, annotated tactics, turning-point revision and review note. Mark native/performance checks unavailable if you only performed the text alternative.
You should see: The packet distinguishes composition from optional performance.
What to finish
A complete two-person script with tactic annotations and revision evidence.
Watch for this
Submitting only a plot summary or claiming a production that never happened.
How can I tell I understand it?
A reader can follow the two roles, objects and central change using the script alone.
