Exclamation marks are great to show which type of emotions? _________________________
When we want to show a pause in speaking (or when a character's voice trails off to nothing) we use a certain type of punctuation. Do you know what it looks like?
This is called an ellipsis.
Review your work on the previous picture and rewrite (edit) it to include both of these types of punctuation.
Recap on what we have discussed...
Mrs Dumpton's monologue (Scene 8)
(See worksheets)
Label the above mini-monologue with the following terms: ellipsis, stage directions, emotive language, dramatic irony, character name and scene setting.
Have a guess at what the people in each picture are feeling / thinking about the situation.
A soliloquy is a device often used in drama when a character speaks to himself or herself, relating thoughts and feelings, thereby also sharing them with the audience. Other characters, however, are not aware of what is being said.
Picture 2
This time include the ellipsis
and the exclamative (a sentence / phrase using a !) first time. You have to write 5 sentences at least.
Left side
of room
Right side

Write 3 sentences of how you think this character would speak to the opposite character. Remember this is a Monologue so no response from the other character!
In theatre, a monologue is presented by a single character, most often to express their thoughts aloud, though sometimes also to directly address another character or the audience.
Persuasive techniques can also be used in monologues to convince the audience or other characters to agree to something that the speaker wants.
Look out for repetition, humour, tripling, emotive language and effective body language (or gesture).
