Drama Tips
Here are some ideas to help you get started with creating your play or skit:
- Every story needs a beginning, a middle, and an end.
- The beginning should have the time and location of the story. You need to introduce and explain what is happening to the characters.
- The middle part of your play should have some rising action. The rising action is a series of things that happen to the characters that they have to deal with before the end of the play. The rising action makes your play or skit more interesting for your audience.
- The climax of the story is the most suspenseful or exciting part of the story and usually occurs near the end of the play. The end is a good place for your characters to resolve any events that happened in the story. Many stories end with a moral – an important message that the audience should learn from the story.
- Mix humor in your skit. Remember your audience likes to laugh.
