Thought tracking and Cross cutting Reflection

For this assessment the class was put into groups and assigned a scenario. My group (William, Oliver, Kalyani and I) was assigned scenario 1. The scene was of a woman who tells her friend that her husband abuses her. The friend tries to help but they cannot agree. We had to feature Thought tracking and Cross cutting (Jumpcuts)
Initially there were only three characters (the husband, the wife, the friend) but we needed a role for William. We thought of a therapist but how much the therapist should be included and how the therapist should be included caused us to fall out. We consulted Ms. and suggested we change the character to a friend of the husband, fleshing out the husband. We all were in agreement and started acting. We didn't have a script but just went with what we thought would work. That night I went home and worked on a script for the next day. We planned on meeting in lunch however it looked like the drama room was busy so I let the rest of my group take pictures of the script so they can learn it.
On performance day I told William and Oliver that if they wanted to tweek the script to tell me first. William said he might improvise a couple lines and I allowed it. Generally it payed off for him as in my opinion it made the acting more realistic. As for Oliver, his improvisation didn't work in our favor. He extended scenes that I thought should be short and impactful.
Ms. gave us a some advise which was that my back was to the audience and that someone dabbed. (Who though puzzles me)
