In groups of 3 to 4 people create a skit that will show the meaning of 18 to 24 key terms (6 terms per group member) from Ch. 5. You will be responsible for submitting a typed script with all the key words bolded and presenting your skit to the class. Be as creative as possible using props, costumes, music and whatever else you can think of that will enhance the performance. You should memorize your dialogue to avoid the awkwardness of reading from a script that makes the performance less authentic. The most challenging part of the assignment will be to create dialogue that truly shows the meaning of the key term rather than just putting the word into your dialogue. Lastly make sure that you use at least 6 key terms for each member in your group.
