Skits!!

1. So first of all, the scene when Pip visits Miss Havisham for the first time would be great. I also believe that this will be a popular choice, due to the fact it is extremely memorable. The characters that would be important to portray include Pip, Miss Havisham, and Estella. There are many parts that would be good to show from these chapters, but I think that what should be shown is when Miss Havisham talks to Pip and shares about her broken heart. Directly after this she calls Estella back in and asks her to play cards with Pip. This would be entertaining to see the class reenact.
2.I believe that another great scene to act out is when Pip arrives in London for the first time. This is because he was country boy, and really unaware of the city life. Important characters to include would be Pip, Jaggers, and Wemmick. Jaggers would obviously be included because he is the escort of Pip to London, and Wemmick because he is newly introduced as the dry clerk of Jaggers.
3.Finally, I think the last skit that should be shown is when Pip runs into the "strange man" on the staircase. He soon learns that this was the convict he ran into when he was younger, and as the story progresses Pip learns that the convict, newly known as Able Magwitch is his benefactor. The characters that are necessary would be Able Magwitch, Pip, and possibly Herbert and Jaggers depending how in depth the skit goes.
