Fill-in-the-Scene

Fill-in-the-Scene is a sit-down, individual writing activity with a focus on playwriting.

Directions
Have the students write out a scene concerning two characters who are having an argument. Give them the first line of play, then the last line of the play. Ideally, these two lines would have two very different moods. It's up to the students to fill in the rest of the scene, taking the conversation from the first given line to the last. The two lines we usually use are: "I'll never forgive you!" and "Well, are you coming?" After the scenes are completed, share!
