Last week during my visit, I started working on the final project for the semester with the students! I decided that this project would be centered around playwriting. In thinking back on all of the lessons that I taught, one of the drama concepts that the students had the most fun with during our time together was playwriting. The students got a taste for playwriting in the multiplication lesson I taught a few weeks back. If you'd like to refer to that lesson plan click here: The students had a blast with this and came up with so many creative ideas! I think this was the lesson that I was able to engage all of the students in for the entire lesson, simply because they loved creating their own scenes. So, I decided that I wanted to take that a step further and have them write their own short play and perform them for each other in a reader's theatre style on our last day together. This project will be spread out over the remainder of my time with the students, which is 4 more lessons. Last week, I didn't have a lesson plan written out like I have in the past, we simply just filled out the first 3 pages of the playwriting journal that I created for them to help guide their creativity. Please refer to the document below to see the full journal. I am so excited to continue this project, and I think that the students will come up with some really fun and creative short plays!
