Back in the Classroom
Have the students read or perform several of the dialogues.
Follow the directions for step 4 of the In the Classroom
section.
Extension
As a follow-up activity, have the students try their hands at writing
a conversation between two or more people. Here are some possible scenarios
around which they could build their conversations:
- two characters in a book arguing for a different ending
- someone trying to explain a modern event, situation, or object to a
person from the past
- a conversation between two or more people "on the scene"
at a historic event, such as the signing of the Declaration of Independence
or the arrival of Europeans in the Americas
- a conversation between two or more people "on the scene"
at a future significant event, such as the arrival of aliens on Earth or
the discovery of a cure for cancer
