Lesson 6.Arsenic and Old Lace Cutting<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
HOOK<\/p>\n
Pass out the \u201cArsenic and Old Lace\u201d script cutting but don\u2019t tell anyone that they are from a famous play.\u00a0 Some students may recognize the play but others may not.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
INDIVIDUAL PRACTICE<\/p>\n
Tell the students to read through the script and \u2018peer review\u2019 it.\u00a0 Within the script, they must make at least three notes and at the end of the script, they need to write two things that they like about it and one thing that they would improve\/change about it. Give them time to do so.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
DISCUSSION<\/p>\n
Reveal to the students that this is \u2018Arsenic and Old Lace\u201d by Joseph Kesselring, a very famous play and playwright.\u00a0 Discuss that this play is super famous but you were all able to still find things to change\/improve about it.\u00a0 It is ALL <\/strong>up to the playwright whether or not they want to take the edits and reviews into consideration.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
GUIDED PRACTICE<\/p>\n
Students will now switch their rough drafts with another student. Write these instructions on the board but explain that they need to write their name at the top of the scripts so we know who edited it.\u00a0 Then explain that they need to find 10 edits to make within the script and then at the end, they must write out three things that they liked about the script and two things that they would improve\/change about it.\u00a0 Tell them that they will be getting a grade for completing this peer review.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
PARTNER WORK<\/p>\n
After a suitable time for peer review, have the students get back with the student that they switched with and discuss.\u00a0 They should explain why they made the edits, what changes they would personally make but most importantly, explain what you loved about the script.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
REINFORCING THE LEARNING<\/p>\n
Remind the students that they are to take their rough draft home with them so they can make the edits if they choose to do so.\u00a0 But make sure that their editor\u2019s name is on it.\u00a0 They need to bring this rough draft\/edited script to class tomorrow along with their FINAL DRAFT. <\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"LESSON 6 TITLE Peer Reviewing EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVE Students will demonstrate their understanding of peer reviewing by reviewing a classmate\u2019s short play.
