Write a short, one-act script for a play... Brainstorm an idea as the video suggests: write down all your ideas and keep a written record of them until you have developed a solid plot, setting, and characters for a ten-minute, one-act play. A good play has a conflict that eventually is resolved (or reaches at least a partial resolution or change of some kind). In your play, you'll want to start with a conflict that can arrive at some degree of resolution in just one act.

Here's a checklist you can consult after you’ve finished brainstorming. If you find elements missing, go back to the brainstorming phase again:

-Do you have enough knowledge of the topic of your play?
-Are your ideas clear and do they flow coherently?
-Does your play follow a systematic and logical structure and have exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution?
-Is the setting of your play well-suited to the plot and topic you’re exploring?
-Does your play revolve around a believable conflict?
-Are your characters distinguished by inner and outer qualities, such as personality traits, physical traits, manner of speaking, and so on?
