Introduce the Learning Activity: A. I will put the lesson objectives on the board for students to see as well as verbally communicate them to the students. The lesson will begin with the improv activity which will hopefully communicate to the students that the use of emotion in acting is important. I will then instruct the students to go to my website and from this lesson go to the interactive Globe Theatre site where they will learn about the theatre in which plays were performed for the Queen and townspeople. Link found here: http://www.athenalearning.com/programs/playing-shakespeare/interactive-globetheatre B. Next, the students can go to the site where they learn how the people dressed in Shakespeares time http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/interactive/games/dressing_up_f/index_embed.shtml C. Next, I will distribute the scripts with the emotion card and character attached to each. Provide Information: A. Provide Practice: The students will then look over their script and try their best to perform with their given emotion. I will inform the students that this was originally a comedic play, so generally the lines were delivered with happy emotions. One of the students will have happy. Provide Knowledge of Results: A. After the short scene is performed, I will engage in a Q and A with the students, asking them how they thought it went. I will provide verbal feedback based upon their response and reactions. Review the Activity: A. The students will open Microsoft Publisher and create a flier about using emotion in Shakespeare. They should also include one fact about the Globe Theatre and one fact about the style of dress that the actors would be wearing on the stage. Method of Assessment: A. The Fliers would be turned in for formative assessment purposes.
