- A 5-page play loosely related to your argument piece. Please make sure that your characters have clear desires and that there is something that is keeping them from getting what they want.
Playwriting Format
(Here is how you format a play.)
TOM
I have to write a play and I don't know how to do it.
JANE
That's okay. I will teach you. First you write your character name. Then you hit enter and you write their dialogue. After you finished writing their dialogue, you hit enter twice and then you write the next characters line and so on and so forth until you're finished. It should not be double-spaced. It should look exactly how it is on this blog.
TOM
Wow! That sounds easy.
JANE
It is. (Holds up hand.) Don't forget to put stage directions in parentheses and then italicize them.
Stage directions are any actions you want your characters to do on stage.

TOM
Will do. Thanks Jane for all your help.
JANE
You're welcome, Tom.
