B. FIRM UP
Our next lesson is entitled, “Understanding Plays”. At the end of the lesson, I can:
Let us first read the learning target of our lesson. 1. identify the different elements of a
one-act play by means of picture
analysis;
2. differentiate play and drama
through Venn diagram;
3. act a scene from the movie/s; and
4. perform a one-act play.

Now, these are our learning target for tody. So let Play is a story that is meant to be acted

of a short story. These are the character,

plot, and setting.

Again, what are the elements of a short story? Characters

Setting
Conflict
Theme
Plot

Very good. Unlike a short story, a play is written in The One-Act play is a type of stage play
a special form called Script. The script contains the where there is only one act. An act is a
cast of characters, stage directions, scenes and scene done in one setting and without

piece of drama that consists of only one act. It
usually has one or more scenes but does not
exceed one act. One-act play can have one or
more scenes but it should have only one setting,
plot, and few characters. Am I understood?

Are you sure? Yes, Ma’am.

Okay, let’s proceed to the elements of a one-act

play. First, is the?

The one-act needs to have a theme or thought. Love

In the short time that the one-act play is

audience is experiencing; again, there
isn't time for more than that.

What are the two types of characters? Protagonist and Antagonist

The villain is? Antagonist

character of the protagonist that is vital to the

storyline. Am I understood?

Good, let’s proceed to the plot. In a one-act play,

there is really only time for one significant event.

Let’s put a label on this diagram. Ms. Garchitorena,

Rising Action

conflict is addressed with a form of action. In this Yes, Ma’am.
part, the protagonist often encounters some sort of
crisis that creates tension. Is it understood?

Okay, Mr. Rosalda our next part is the?

Climax or the Turning Point Ma’am.
Thank you, Mr. Rosalda. Very good. The climax is
the pivotal point in the story when the protagonist
deals with the culmination of events. The climax
often centers on the protagonist's most difficult
challenge or bleakest moment, according to
Pasadena City College.

This is where the problem challenges the

protagonist. Am I understood? Yes, Ma’am.

Are you sure?

Yes, Ma’am.
Very good. Lets us now proceed. Ms. Esmana the
next part of our plot is? The Falling Action Ma’am.

What can you share about falling action Ms.

Esmana? Ma’am, it is where we can see if the
protagonist wins her/his battle.
Very good Ms. Esmana. Falling Action occurs
immediately after the climax and details the
consequences -- good or bad -- that the characters
must deal with after the turning point of events. It
leads up to the resolution and sets the stage for the
final chapter of the story.

In the falling action, we can know if the protagonist

succeeds in his/her problem which will lead to us in The resolution tells us what happens to

unless the author plans to write a sequel

readers with a sense of closure, so they
understand the fate of the protagonists

happy ending? No, Ma’am.

Okay, let us now proceed to the last element of a
one-act play, The Dialogue. Kindly read our slide in Dialogue is the conversation between two

play, or movie. Each line must be crafted
carefully to focus on the theme, the
incident, and the character of the
protagonist. The dialogue needs to be
terse but must be concise and full of
meaning.

Always remember that dialogue is the conversation

that is happening in a story or act. Is it understood? Yes, Ma’am.

Again, what are the elements of a one-act play?

Do you have any questions?
None.

Okay, so now that you already know what a one-act

play is, let’s proceed to drama. What do you think is
the difference between play and drama? Mr. Play is a short act while drama is a long

Thank you, very good Mr. Abandia. Play is a

dramatic performance on the stage, whereas
drama is a literary composition in the form of prose

Are you familiar with the word theater?

is one of the emotionally satisfying experiences
imaginable. It touches our inner core, and gives
insight into who we are." Aside from watching,
participating in a play can also be a very exciting

character in the play, you get to experience and
understand someone else's feelings and emotions.
You are able to experience vicariously the life,
thoughts, and actions of the character you are
portraying.
