[Drama] Extra Credit Assignment 1: Liar Liar

DRAMA, PUBLIC SPEAKING & PRESENTATION
EXTRA CREDIT ASSIGNMENT 1: Liar Liar
DUE OCTOBER 12TH

Hey there everyone! I hope you're prepared for your first EXTRA CREDIT ASSIGNMENT. (LE GASP) Classes are allowed only THREE extra credit assignments a semester, and unlike regular assignments which can be up to only 5 points maximum, extra credit assignments can bank you up to 10 points each. That's a LOT of points! So take these extra credit assignments seriously!

Your first extra credit assignment is Liar Liar and it involves helping all of you learn to express -exaggerated- and -dramatic- emotions with feeling put behind them to better convince your audience that your character really believes whatever it is they're saying. Give them anguish, conviction, sadness, joy, whatever applies!

Students have to say three things about themselves. Only one of these three things can be true, the other two being lies. Now, this is where your characters' personalities come in. Are they apt at lying? Are they a terrible liar? Maybe they have a nervous tick or a stutter when they lie. If your character would show discomfort when lying, then BY ALL MEANS STAY TRUE TO YOUR CHARACTER AND SHOW IT! These -also- make for wonderful, dramatic expressions that can often times be very complex in nature! I'll be impressed either way!

THE FORMAT: Three to four panel comic. Color optional, but encouraged.
