Description

We all know that being ‘connected’ through social media and technology can have its consequences. This is a particularly hot topic now with the controversial publication of Jonathan Haidt’s book, The Anxious Generation. But let’s take control of this topic away from the adults and put it in your hands. Your team is challenged with researching this issue and interviewing your peers, with the intent of creating a singular, fictional character who embodies the multiple perspectives gathered about one’s relationship with their mobile device(s). You will then write a monologue for this character and shoot him/her/them. It’s a dramatic monologue, one of the most fascinating narrative forms to explore.
