Instructions: Write a script (2 page minimum) for a radio show. In addition to the characters’ lines, be sure to indicate when sound effects should be made. Character lines do not need to exactly reflect the book; groups may choose to change the style of speech, such as modernizing the language. Note: Each member should write their own lines as the group brainstorms the script. Themes: hospitality, pride, brains over brawn, respect for the gods.
