Everystudent

We are currently working on the following project which will serve as a final assessment for the morality play Everyman:

Everystudent
A Morality Play
50pts

As a group you will be responsible for writing your own morality play called Everystudent. Although you will be writing in your own vernacular, you must mirror the structure of Everyman and show your understanding of the genre. The story will be about the things that will speak for you when you graduate high school. Each group will have a director who is responsible for the following:

Oversee the plot-the order the characters appear-the moral
Oversee the script
Cast the characters
The final say on all creative decisions

Characters-You must have 7 total. You can create your own that are not on the list.
*-required characters
Everystudent*
College or Employer (the God character)*
Friends

You will have 3 periods to prep and rehearse. You will then perform your play. All members of the group must have a speaking part. Each member is responsible for writing their part.
