Drama

unit: skits
currently we were put into groups and are comming up with our own plays!

WELCOME BACK ALL! so, in class we have been doing some really interesting skits/plays such as 'INHERIT THE WIND' Heres a little about the play : { i'm going to read this from the book perspective}

Teacher B.T. Cates is arrested for teaching Darwin's theories. Famous lawyer Henry Drummond defends him; fundamentalist politician Matthew Brady prosecutes. This is a very thinly disguised rendition of the 1925 "Scopes monkey trial" with debates between Clarence Darrow and William Jennings Bryan taken largely from the transcripts
