It is an exciting collaboration between two writers, though only one is writing the script. Adaptations have an important place in all storytelling fields-musicals, plays, television shows, and movies. Students read examples of successfully adapted scripts and examine different approaches and styles of writing. They adapt several short stories into short plays and choose a significant person in history, research his or her biographical information, and write a play based on his or her life. Prerequiste: at least one introductory writing workshop.
