In pairs in class, pick a dozen lines to prep and writer actor's notes for. Don't just deliver the lines; do something interesting with them. Find two different ways to deliver the same lines. Look for conflict between two characters. By Wed. or Thur, perform the lines (rehearse a few times first) and then explain the choices you made in delivery.
PERFORM + EXPLAIN on Wed., Thu, or Friday.
