Standards
-TH.912.H.1.4: Interpretation and perspective
-TH.C.2.4: Collaborate
Essential Question
-How do you interpret text and reproduce it in a performance?
Agenda:
1. Students will write a clear and descriptive journal about a specific event during the Christmas break.
2. Students will partner with one other person. They will trade papers. Each student will perform the paper they received.
3. Students are given time to read, interpret, and consider a presentation.
4. It will soon become obvious that performing these essays will be impossible.
- Identify all the reasons the task is impossible
- Point out that this exercise should show them the reason I am having trouble with the observation journals they have been turning in - there is nothing to perform in them, and no notations an actor would make for himself during an observation.
- Continue to develop this conversation until students are clear about journal expectations
- Students will not have to perform this particular essay, but can expect this to be done again in the future with a performance.
5. Students are assigned an exit journal, due next class, explaining every they can and understand from today's activity
6. Students are given a general overview of the 9 weeks plan
7. As time permits, have students give presentations related to their Olustee performance.
