Part 5 of the SEL Monologue Project will explore responsible decision making for both performer and audience. In order to successfully prepare and present a monologue, a series of responsible decisions must be made. In addition, audience members are also required to make good decisions while observing and responding to the presented monologues. In this final portion of the SEL Monologue Project, students will practice responsible decision making as both performer and audience. Students will present and reflect on their monologues while their peers provide thoughtful and appropriate feedback.
