Hello,
I have seen on the point list how to divy up points for students who write plays, unproduced and produced, but here is the thing. I have a student who is writing a LOT. He has written 10 episodes of a screen play and is working with his friends and other students in my ITS troupe to produce them. Do I give them all points for being in it? Do I give the writer points for writing them? That would be 10 points in one year! Plus, he has written some other plays and screen plays. He wants to be able to direct one at school and I want to let him, although we only do one full length and one one-act per year, so that's hard to give that up to him. I just am not sure how to award points for him as he is wracking them up if I just hand them out by 1 point per script. Should I limit him to a certain amount in a year or only after I read them. I do not have the time to read them all. Any thoughts would be helpful to what others do with a prolific writer.
The other part is that I have two students competing for the most points and he is one of them, but the other has earned all hers from stage managing and more. The writer is also my ITS President.
Thoughts?
