Students will demonstrate their ability to find different tactics for their characters by making a list of tactics they could use in their own monologues.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Computer and projector with speakers <\/p>\n Students will enter the classroom as a clip of the Lion King is playing. We will watch this clip for about five minutes. When it is over, ask the class, \u201cWhat was Rafiki trying to do?\u201d Guide their answers toward teaching Simba or getting Simba to go back. \u201cHow did he do it?\u201d Accept their more physical answers like hitting him or showing him his dad in the water, etc. We will slowly expand and go deeper with the idea of tactics, so these answers are a great beginning.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u2022 Explain what objectives and tactics are. The objective for your monologue is the thing that your character wants the most and is trying to get. He or she achieves this through tactics. Educational Objective: Students will demonstrate their ability to find different tactics for their characters by making a list of tactics they could use in their own monologues.

\u2022 In (play we\u2019ve already covered as a class), what does the main character want? What is his objective? How does he get it? What tactics did he use to accomplish what he wanted?
\u2022 Pass out tactics list. \u201cSee how different all of these are?\u201d Most tactics aren\u2019t physical actions. They can be, but you want to use a wide range of tactics to get your objective.
\u2022 Invite everyone to get up and on their feet. Get with a partner. You want something from this partner. Don\u2019t tell me what it is. Don\u2019t tell them what it is. Just think about it. What do you want from your partner? Now I\u2019m going to call out a few tactics from this list. Be bold! Just go for it! As strange as each tactic sounds, use that tactic to get what you want from your partner! Yell out random tactics. Go around and give feedback and assistance where people need it.
\u2022 Ask for understanding. Do you understand now what objectives and tactics are? Does anyone still have any questions? Have everyone get back in their seats.
\u2022 Now we are going to work on your own monologues. Think about your character. What is his or her objective? Now, we are going to have each of you come up to the front of the class and begin performing your monologue. I might stop you or have you start over, so don\u2019t worry if you don\u2019t perform the whole thing. Keep your objective in mind. I will call out random tactics. You must use these to try to get what you want. The rest of the class will also be giving tactics. If you want to give a tactic, please raise your hand. Some of these might be difficult! This is just to make you think about the different ways your character could work with others. Some tactics will not work at all. Don\u2019t worry about it! This is a learning experience!
o Bewitch, lecture, frighten, free, evade, prod, reprimand, quash, remedy, etc.
\u2022 Use the tactic list to help push each student along. Use the students\u2019 tactics as well! Look for those students that aren\u2019t very engaged. Ask them personally if they would like to contribute. If a student is too shy or doesn\u2019t really understand, help them along! Give them a tactic to call out and let them go! Get everyone involved and let everyone get up and present their monologues for the class.
\u2022 When finished, have them sit down and start to write out a list of tactics that their characters would use. Assign them to rehearse these tactics tonight as homework for at least twenty minutes. We will do a little check on this tomorrow.
\u2022 Close the class period by asking the students what objectives and tactics are. Make sure they truly understand. How can using different tactics be helpful with your characters? Why is this important? When you feel like they understand very well, dismiss them!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
