Facets of Understanding:<\/h4>\n
\u2022 Explanation
\u2022 Interpretation
\u2022 Application<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Enduring Understandings:<\/h4>\n
\u2022 How we present ourselves, even on paper, affects us
\u2022 Theater mirrors life, and life never had a starting point<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Essential Questions:<\/h4>\n
\u2022 What is the best way to present myself on paper?
\u2022 How do I infuse my character with real-life experience?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Hook: (15 minutes)<\/h5>\n
When students walk in the room, have several headshots and resumes taped up on the wall, and numbered. Ask students to go around and cast the hypothetical show of Spiderman on Broadway, and you are looking for Spiderman and Mary Jane. Once students have decided who they are going to cast, have them return to their seats.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Step 1 \u2013 Discussion: (10 minutes)<\/h5>\n
Ask students who they decided on. Why? What was it about their resume or their headshot that made students want them? Talk to students about the importance of a clear, concise resume, and a eye-catching and versatile headshot.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Step 2 \u2013 Group Practice: (15 minutes)<\/h5>\n
Pull up a word document on your computer and project it onto the screen. Together, as a class, write up a resume for John Smith. Make up heights, weights, shows, etc. Have students call out the shows and demographics of John \u2013 let them have fun with it. The point is to get students to see how to put together a resume.
Once students have created this resume, tell students that they will need to bring in their own resumes (with real information) by the next class period. Tell students that you will be reviewing those resumes, and giving them back to students for them to fix by the time they perform.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Step 3 \u2013 Modeling: (10 minutes)<\/h5>\n
Let students know that you will be switching gears a little bit. Hand the following script to two students and have them read it in front of the class.<\/p>\n
A: Hi! B: Hello. A: How\u2019s everything? B: Fine. I guess. A: Do you know what time it is? B: No. Not exactly. A: Don\u2019t you have a watch? B: Not on me. A: Well? B: Well what? A: What did you do last night? B: What do you mean? A: What did you do last night?<\/p>\n
B: Nothing. A: Nothing? B: I said, nothing! A: I\u2019m sorry I asked. B: That\u2019s all right.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Step 4 \u2013 Discussion: (5 minutes)<\/h5>\n
Ask the class when the scene started. Was it when the lines began? When the actors entered? When the first gesture was made? Once students have given those answers, ask students, \u201cwhen does life begin?\u201d Students may answer first breath, when they\u2019re born, conceived even, but explain to students that many religions believe that there was an existence before mortality. If we hypothetically go along with that belief, life has no beginning.
Many theatre artists believe that theatre mirrors or imitates life. If life has no beginning, your monologues have no beginning. Every moment in your character\u2019s life has led up to your monologue. As an actor, you must thing, \u201cwhere did I just come from?\u201d, \u201cWhat information have I just learned?\u201d, and \u201chow has my world shifted recently?\u201d. Explain to students that the answers to these questions are called \u201cthe moment before\u201d.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Step 5 \u2013 Modeling and Discussion: (10 minutes)<\/h5>\n
Have two more students come up and read the same scene, but this time, have the class decide where each actor has just been, what information each actor has just learned, and how their worlds have shifted recently. The scene should be drastically different. Ask students how the scene changed. What made it more interesting? Were lines delivered differently? Do this same thing a few more times, letting students see that different moments before change the scene.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Final Assessment for Lesson 6: (informal)<\/h5>\n
Have students pair up, and explain to each other what their character\u2019s moment before is. The have students perform for each other, implementing the moment before into their scene. Have partners coach them through to make the moment before as evident as possible.
Remind students that their resume is due next time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Hand the following script to two students and have them read it in front of the class.<\/p>\nA: Hi! B: Hello. A: How\u2019s everything? B: Fine. I guess. A: Do you know what time it is? B: No. Not exactly. A: Don\u2019t you have a watch? B: Not on me. A: Well? B: Well what? A: What did you do last night? B: What do you mean? A: What did you do last night?<\/p>\nB: Nothing. A: Nothing? B: I said, nothing! A: I\u2019m sorry I asked. B: That\u2019s all right.<\/p>\n <\/p>\nStep 4 \u2013 Discussion: (5 minutes)<\/h5>\nAsk the class when the scene started. Was it when the lines began? When the actors entered? When the first gesture was made? Once students have given those answers, ask students, \u201cwhen does life begin?\u201d Students may answer first breath, when they\u2019re born, conceived even, but explain to students that many religions believe that there was an existence before mortality. If we hypothetically go along with that belief, life has no beginning. Many theatre artists believe that theatre mirrors or imitates life. If life has no beginning, your monologues have no beginning. Every moment in your character\u2019s life has led up to your monologue. As an actor, you must thing, \u201cwhere did I just come from?\u201d, \u201cWhat information have I just learned?\u201d, and \u201chow has my world shifted recently?\u201d. Explain to students that the answers to these questions are called \u201cthe moment before\u201d.<\/p>\n <\/p>\nStep 5 \u2013 Modeling and Discussion: (10 minutes)<\/h5>\nHave two more students come up and read the same scene, but this time, have the class decide where each actor has just been, what information each actor has just learned, and how their worlds have shifted recently. The scene should be drastically different. Ask students how the scene changed. What made it more interesting? Were lines delivered differently? Do this same thing a few more times, letting students see that different moments before change the scene.<\/p>\n <\/p>\nFinal Assessment for Lesson 6: (informal)<\/h5>\nHave students pair up, and explain to each other what their character\u2019s moment before is.

Ask students to go around and cast the hypothetical show of Spiderman on Broadway, and you are looking for Spiderman and Mary Jane. Once students have decided who they are going to cast, have them return to their seats.<\/p>\n <\/p>\nStep 1 \u2013 Discussion: (10 minutes)<\/h5>\nAsk students who they decided on. Why? What was it about their resume or their headshot that made students want them? Talk to students about the importance of a clear, concise resume, and a eye-catching and versatile headshot.<\/p>\n <\/p>\nStep 2 \u2013 Group Practice: (15 minutes)<\/h5>\nPull up a word document on your computer and project it onto the screen. Together, as a class, write up a resume for John Smith. Make up heights, weights, shows, etc. Have students call out the shows and demographics of John \u2013 let them have fun with it. The point is to get students to see how to put together a resume. Once students have created this resume, tell students that they will need to bring in their own resumes (with real information) by the next class period. Tell students that you will be reviewing those resumes, and giving them back to students for them to fix by the time they perform.<\/p>\n <\/p>\nStep 3 \u2013 Modeling: (10 minutes)<\/h5>\nLet students know that you will be switching gears a little bit. Hand the following script to two students and have them read it in front of the class.<\/p>\nA: Hi! B: Hello. A: How\u2019s everything? B: Fine. I guess. A: Do you know what time it is? B: No. Not exactly. A: Don\u2019t you have a watch? B: Not on me. A: Well? B: Well what? A: What did you do last night? B: What do you mean? A: What did you do last night?<\/p>\nB: Nothing.
