Creative Writing Project: Rewrite a popular children's animated movie into a drama.
This project will mimic the play we watched at Brenau University called Mermaid Song. In this entertaining drama, the animated movie The Little Mermaid was turned into a shorter dramatic interpretation. In this short unit, we will study the protagonist, antagonist, status quo, inciting incident, conflict, climax, and resolution.
The students will either work individually or in partners and create character names, settings, conflicts, and learn how to write the story in a screenplay format.
