Team Captain Name___________________________________

How will your group meet the criteria of the final presentation?

Your group will be writing a script and performing an old time radio show based on the graphic novel The Undersea Adventures of Capt'n Eli.
Listen to short episodes of old time radio adventure shows provided on this website. These short episodes will give you an idea of what an old time radio show was like.

There are 3 Acts in Book 1 of The Undersea Adventures of Capt'n Eli and 8 Acts in Book 2. Each work group will choose 2 Acts to perform. Each performance will integrate characters (major and minor), theme, newly acquired vocabulary, and a "Historical Backgound Spot" or a commentary reflecting on a historical event that influences a character or the action.

As a group, you will be discussing the various roles for each member including technical expert, sound effects person, actor/actress etc. Taking into account each of your strengths and weaknesses, you will decide what job best fits your personalities.

Each performance cannot be more than 10 min. total. (includes each of your 3 Acts)

What theme or themes will become clear in your final radio episode?
Theme 1: _________________________________________________

Theme 2: _________________________________________________

Theme 3: _________________________________________________

Is the script written for the 3 separate Acts and have the actors practiced the lines?

Are the technical experts ready to record the radio show?

 

When will your group find time to practice and complete this task?
