give the guidelines in making a drama?

Answer 1

Pick a plot (there are about 36 of them -- I have a list of them if you emial me).

Start by writing the climax of the drama.

Back up step by step and write each scene from the climax BACK to the opening scene.

Then write the scenes after the climax to the end -- the "Denoument," it is called.

If it is an American drama for an American audience, make sure it contains a romantic interest (unless the main character is a woman, as is the case in "Long Days Journey Into Night.") The rule here is do not leave a man alone as the hero -- American women hate that template.

If there's a gun, a bomb, a car chase, or any other dramatic and dangerous action, it MUST be foreshadowed -- we need to see the handgun or the bomb being constructed or some reckles driving first -- it's too much of a shock to have it introduced as a surprise.

If it's a story about ordinary people (not a pageant about royalty or kingly succession), then it should have some humor and laughter in it, even if the drama is a tragedy.

Answer 2

The Chair of a Social Science Department has recognized, reluctantly, that Dr. Leroux, one of the elderly members of the Department, is no longer competent to conduct classes. Although he has played an honourable role throughout a long career, Dr. Leroux now is hopelessly out of date and actually is teaching unacceptable material that he steadfastly argues is important. Grades in Dr. Leroux's courses are high by Departmental standards, making the course too easy for the competent students and treasured by the poorer students. It has also been alleged that Dr. Leroux publicly humiliates—and punishes with low marks—those students who voice perspectives (orally or in assignments) that are at odds with his own. The Chair feels some obligation to arrange that the courses be taught by someone else, but realizes that this would be a great blow to Dr. Leroux's pride and, given the adversarial climate at the University, may result in a grievance and/or arbitration (e.g., as a test of academic freedom).
