Students will demonstrate their ability to move with props by incorporating a prop into their movement around the classroom.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You will need a prop for each student and a lot of extra props (at least one extra one per each student) set up on tables in the classroom. You will also need an projector as well as ideas for emotions for the students to demonstrate with their props.<\/p>\n

Anticipatory Set\/Hook
Hand each student a different object (prop) as they enter the classroom. Ask the students to find a seat with their prop<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u2022 Set up the classroom in the same way that it was set up for the Body Language lesson with the projector shining a big block of light onto a blank wall.
\u2022 Ask for volunteers to come stand in the light. As they come up to stand in the light, be sure that they bring their object\/prop with them. Tell the students in the light that this object is now an extension of them. Ask the students in the light to show you an emotion, but tell them they have to use the prop to help express it.
\u2022 Allow time for all students to experiment on how they move with their props in the light.
\u2022 After all students have had the chance to experiment with their movement with a prop in the light, turn the lights in the classroom back on and ask the students how the props influenced their music.
\u2022 Was it more difficult to move with their object? Why?
\u2022 Ask students,
\u2022 What is a prop?
\u2022 A prop is an object you move with.
\u2022 Technically, a prop is any object held, manipulated, or carried by a performer during a theatrical performance. (wikipedia)
\u2022 When do we use props?
\u2022 On stage in shows.
\u2022 Every day (your backpack is a prop to help you in your role as a student)
\u2022 Have students switch props with ones that you have set out on the table or with each other. They cannot keep their original prop.
\u2022 Tell the students that they are at a party and must interact with each other at the party while using their prop. They cannot hold their prop idly at their side. Have the students line up with their prop in hand. Have 5-6 students start out at the party. As you ding a bell, the person who has been there the longest switches out with the next person in line.
\u2022 This will allow other students to observe how others use their props.
\u2022 Allow the option for students to come back into the party (re-rotate through the line). They must use a new prop each time they come back in.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u2022 Ask the students what is different about posing with a prop versus interacting with people while holding a prop.
\u2022 Why is it important to be able to move with props?
\u2022 Props make moving more difficult because you have to think about more than just how you move your body.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Students will be assessed on their participation in the prop party. They will be assessed on their use of their prop. If they used the prop, or attempted to use the prop, then they will receive full credit. If they just hold the prop at their side, they won\u2019t receive participation credit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
