\u00b7 Bowl\/hat
\u00b7 Enough slips of paper for each group (5 students\/group), indicating fairytale (i.e. Little Red Riding Hood, Three Little Pigs, Hansel and Gretel, etc.) and each dramatic structure element (e.g. Exposition, Inciting Incident, Rising Action, Climax, Falling action)<\/p>\n NOTE: GOAL of the slips of paper: Students will draw what fairytale group they will be working in and then draw what dramatic element they will be in charge of

Lesson Directions<\/h4>\n
Anticipatory Set\/Hook
Inform students that they will be starting a new unit on 17th French Neoclassical theater. Have students share any prior knowledge they have about this time period with the rest of the class. Then guide students\u2019 attention to the board (timeline diagram). Review the timeline with them. As the term implies, clarify that the neoclassical ideals are a revival of the classic ideals. Then explain that the focus of this unit will reflect the focus of that time period: playwriting<\/p>\n

Instruction<\/h4>\n
Step 1:
\u00b7 Once each student has picked a fairytale from the bowl\/hat, have them organize into groups according to the tale they picked
\u00b7 As soon as students are separated into fairytale groups, have them draw from the bowl\/hat a dramatic element
\u00b7 Inform them that 1) for the rest of the unit they will be working in these groups and 2) based on whatever element they drew from the hat, they will be in charge of heading the writing process when it comes to that element
\u00b7 Pass out the fairytale to the appropriate group
\u00b7 Have them read\/familiarize themselves with their story<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Step 2:
\u00b7 Introduce students to the \u201cThree Unities\u201d
\u00b7 To be considered a \u201cgood\u201d play by the French Academy, explain that French Neoclassical plays had to have
1. TIME: ONE day
2. PLACE: ONE location
3. ACTION: ONE plot<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Step 3:
\u00b7 As a group, have students determine necessary modifications to their fairytale to adhere to the Three Unities<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Step 4:
\u00b7 Once groups have determined the necessary changes to ensure their fairytale adheres to the Three Unities, have students outline the happenings\/events of the revised fairytale within their assigned dramatic element
1. For example: A group doing Little Red Riding Hood (LRRH) would determine that the action all takes place in the grandma\u2019s cottage. The student \u201cin charge\u201d of the exposition would then create an outline that described the events prior to the inciting incident of this revised version of LRRH.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Closure:<\/h4>\n
\u00b7 Within the last 15 minutes of the period, have each group member share what they created
\u00b7 Once the basic outline of the revised fairytale is shared, have groups decide on appropriate transitions between each individual\u2019s writing to ensure continuity and flow
\u00b7 ASSIGNMENT: Before the period ends, have each group hand in a piece of paper identifying each group member, the assigned fairytale, and the time, place, and action of the revised version<\/p>\n
