Anticipatory Set\/Hook
Inform students that they will be playing Charades. Have six volunteers draw their word from the bowl\/hat. Once students have guessed the word, have the volunteer write the word on the board.
How to play Charades: without speaking, have volunteer gesture, signal, and act out the specified word until viewers can guess the term<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Step 1:
\u00b7 Once all the vocabulary words have been guessed and are written on the board, ask students if they notice a pattern or can make a connection
\u00b7 If students are struggling, inform them that the \u201cTragedy\u201d and \u201cComedy\u201d refer to the two genres that existed during French Neoclassical theatre
\u00b7 A tragedy dealt only with high society characters, and always ended tragically
\u00b7 Comedy, on the other hand, dealt with middle to low-class characters, and always ended happily<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Step 2:
\u00b7 Explain to students that according to the French Academy, a good play never mixed the two genres
\u00b7 Ask students for modern-day examples that break this rule (dark comedies)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Step 3:
\u00b7 Have groups determine if they want their play to be a tragedy or a comedy
\u00b7 Allow them time to make the necessary revisions to ensure that their play is not mixing genres<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Step 4:
\u00b7 As reinforcement, based on their decision of genre, give them exactly 2 minutes to determine their falling action
\u00b7 Then have each group perform their falling action in 30 seconds
\u00b7 Once all the groups have performed, discuss the genre that each group chose based on their performance<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Give students the remainder of the time to continue working on and revising their script.<\/p>\n
