Midterms

In class yesterday I had five students read their good midterm short scripts. There was a gripping action-thriller, a drama bordering on horror, a dark comedy, a moving drama driven by subtext, a comedy ... good work all around, and it was great to hear such a variety of responses from the same challenge, write a short script about a relationship break up in which there is a snow storm. Quite a few students "get it" now but I still have several who remain at day one. Need to meet with them again.
