“One-Act Play”
In this activity, students will write a future scene for Pfeffer’s characters and act it out for the class.
Throughout the novel, Miranda’s family lives in survival mode, trying to figure out how to withstand each catastrophe as they unfold. As the family survives, they each grow in the novel’s themes of Faith, Love, Survival, and Maturity. Work with a group to write a one-act play that depicts Miranda’s family in the future. Your play should reflect the themes and changes in the characters’ attitudes, actions, and motivations.
