Draft Monologue Checklist

1. Your Name Write your name at the top of every page you hand in

2. Decide on a Monologue Scenario Write which one you have chosen at the top of your draft

3. Props and Costume If you decide to wear a costume and/or include a prop in your monologue: Include 1 – 3 lines at the beginning in italics detailing these. For example: Harry will wear a robe to symbolise his role as a wizard, as well as school uniform because he is starting school at Hogwarts. Harry will be sitting on a chair next to a large hat as this scene involves being sorted in to a school house by the ‘sorting hat’

4. Prove you Know the Text • Re-read Frankenstein. This will make it a lot easier to write the monologue • Write down any significant quotes your character says throughout the play For example: What does this tell us about the monster’s character? “I come a long way. I look for friends. I have no home. Men see me, they hurt me…But I am good. I want to love them, not hurt, not kill…Everywhere I go, they hate me. Am I not good? I look bad…My heart is unhappy” – Monster, pg. 35

5. Monologue Features • First Person to emphasise character: “I. . ” • Stage Directions in Italics throughout the monologue: “He shakes his head, turning away” • Conversational Language: “You see”, “To tell you the truth, I feel like celebrating” Gabi’s example - “Sooo important”

6. Avoid recounting the story. The character is not telling a story, they are living it. Avoid repetition: Double check if you have already said something similar.

7. Spelling and Punctuation • Paragraphs • Correct spelling and punctuation • Have someone go over your work to check the vocabulary and spelling

8. Develop context Your audience should be able to identify: • Who your character is • What you are thinking I. e. That Frankenstein’s experiment is fantastic but dangerous • When your monologue is taking place I. e. At the end of Act Two • Where you are I. e. Frankenstein’s laboratory

9. 3 Minutes in Length • 1 x A 4 page typed with some stage directions • 1. 5 – 2 handwritten pages with stage directions

10. Marking Criteria 1. Print off the marking criteria attached to the assessment notification 2. Attach to the back of your monologue draft This needs to be done in your own time. You will not have time at the beginning of the lesson on Friday to do it.
