 <\/p>\n

Lesson Directions<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

Anticipatory Set\/Hook<\/h5>\n

Review the exercises up until this point with the students. Ask them to identify the exercises and the correlating activities. Toss a candy to those who raise their hand and provide correct answers.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Instruction<\/h5>\n

Step 1:
\u00b7 Split the class into two equal groups
\u00b7 Assign the first group the exercise \u201cTalking to Yourself\u201d (pg 119-123) and the second group \u201cCharacter Action\u201d (pg 139-142)
\u00b7 Pass out the books (Respect for Acting) to each student<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 2:
\u00b7 Inform groups that they will now be the teacher
\u00b7 As a group, they will read about the exercise they were assigned
\u00b7 Then they will have to conduct the exercise prescribed by Hagen or create another activity that will help teach the principles of the exercise
\u00b7 Give them about 15 minutes to read and prepare<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 3:
\u00b7 At the conclusion of the 15 minutes, each group will take 3-5 minutes to explain what the exercise is to the rest of the class (i.e. the other group)
\u00b7 Following their explanation, they will take 12-15 minutes to conduct the determined exercise\/activity
\u00b7 At the conclusion of their presentation, as the presenting group and the receiving group what they learned, what they liked, what they didn\u2019t like, etc.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 4:
\u00b7 Have the groups switch and allow the second group to follow the same pattern of presentation<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Closure:<\/h4>\n

\u00b7 Discuss this process of learning and teaching the different exercises (Possible questions: what did this exercise do for you? How did it help you? How do you think it can help the performance overall?, etc.)
\u00b7 With the last 5 minutes of the period, have students write on a piece of paper
o 3 things they learned from the other groups presentation
o 1 thing they can do to improve their craft using the exercise they studied\/presented<\/p>\n
