THEATRE ARTS LESSON
PLANS:
November 7 thru November 11, 2011
Objective: mainly students will work in pairs this
week where each pair will be given a character and a setting and they have to
write a scene and practice it and be prepared to perform their scene in front
of the class. This will aid in them beginning to understand and develop a
character as well as help increase their writing skills and aid them in working
with a partner as their partners will be arbitrarily assigned.
Materials: occupation and setting drama cards,
paper, pen/pencil.
Procedure: names will be drawn and students put in groups

the characters they want in their scene. Each group will then present their
findings to the class.

(B) imagine and clearly describe
characters, their relationships, and their surroundings;
(C) select movements and dialogue to
appropriately portray an imaginative character drawn from personal experience,
