    The document provides instructions for a three-part activity to practice improvisation, dialogue writing, and performance. In part one, students improvise a scene in small groups using suggested characters and settings. They record the scene. In part two, students transcribe the improvised scene into a written dialogue, correcting any errors. They also modify the scene to make it more interesting. In part three, students rehearse and perform their rewritten scene for the class. The document includes sample language to use in the improvised scenes and repeats the three-part structure for two additional scene topics.
