Workshop full scripts

Due during the class period before your workshop slot:
A draft of your full script. You will, one last time, need to make sufficient photocopies of your script (double-sided is fine) for everyone in the class, and you will distribute those copies during the class session before your workshop slot, so that your peers will be able to provide you with thoughtful feedback.
