Note: The skit is to be of 3 minutes and can extend to a maximum of 5 min. and should

include all major points. You can use the projector to create the mood by projecting

images to create the relevant back ground or show images which are pertaining to the

script. The script and images along with a one page summary of your understanding are

to be submitted as one folder (named as per the philosopher) in a combined class CD.

You should use props to reflect the character and the time. All the groups are of twostudents. You could use one or two more characters apart from yourselves but the

challenge is actually in doing it in the group of two by playing more than one character.

You could also use placards to point out at the most important words/ thoughts related

with the theory. Use of light and a special arrangement of space is your choice! Make

sure you have the support system for changing background, light and spatial

arrangements until unless that too is integrated with the action pertaining to the script. 

Absentees from any group will be marked zero.
