Directions<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><strong>Anticipatory Set\/Hook<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Set the podium in front of chairs that are arranged in a single line facing the chalkboard.\u00a0\u00a0(Be certain there is a chair for each person in the class.)\u00a0\u00a0Place the Prop Manager Handout and a colored pencil on each chair.\u00a0\u00a0Tell the students to write their names on the handout.\u00a0Then, instruct them to read the handout and learn as much as possible because they will be taking a quiz in 15 minutes.\u00a0\u00a0Instruct the students to highlight important information.\u00a0\u00a0Students must be absolutely quiet until everyone is finished reading.\u00a0\u00a0Take the roll while students are reading.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Instruction<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 1\u2014<\/strong>When all students have completed their reading of the handout, instruct the students to put the handout behind them (between the chair and the student\u2019s back).<\/p>\n<p>Tell the students that the quiz will be an oral quiz.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 2\u2014Explain the Rules of the Quiz\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 write the rules on the board.\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Students must be quiet and respectful during the quiz.<\/li>\n<li>Students will take turns answering questions.<\/li>\n<li>No cheating.\u00a0\u00a0You cannot look at the handout when it is your turn.<\/li>\n<li>No one can call out the answers unless it is his\/her turn.<\/li>\n<li>If a student answers a question correctly,<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00fc\u00a0\u00a0He brings his handout to the podium ,<\/p>\n<p>\u00fc\u00a0\u00a0Shows the teacher where to find the answer on the

chairs.)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If a student answers a question incorrectly, he walks to the end of the line and sits in the last chair\u2014everyone moves up one chair.<\/li>\n<li>When a question is answered incorrectly, the person who raises his\/her hand and answers the question correctly, goes to the podium.<\/li>\n<li>Students who yell out answers without the teacher calling them, go to the end of the line.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Check for Understanding.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 3\u2014<\/strong>Conduct the Quiz.\u00a0\u00a0Share additional

first.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 4\u2014Transition:\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>After the quiz,<\/p>\n<p>Ask:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0What is

5\u2014Modeling:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Distribute the scene script and Props List Worksheet.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Divide the class into 4 small groups and have each group sit in a small circle (separate from other groups).<\/li>\n<li>Have the groups quietly read the script together, looking for hand props used by the characters and stage props that are on the stage.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Within the groups, students may collaborate to decide if the discovered prop is\u00a0a hand prop or a stage prop.<\/li>\n<li>Each student needs to write down the props that are found in the script.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 6\u2014Transition:\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>After completion of the prop worksheet, explain that each of them will have to complete a Props List for their chosen scene from\u00a0<em>Midsummer Night\u2019s Dream<\/em>\u00a0for their portfolio\/production book.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Then, have them place their chairs in the standard

10\u2014<\/strong>\u00a0Have the students submit their group worksheets, and take their handouts and put them in their theatre folders.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Remind the students that they must create a props
