Objective: Theatre Roles & Charades
Product: Is it easy or hard expressing yourself without words?

Bell Work: What do you think a director does? (3 sentence minimum)

Class Activities
Once the bell work is completed, students will be given three theatre vocabulary words. They are to write  down the words and the definitions on the first page of their folders. The words today are:

Producer - the person responsible for the entire production, including obtaining financial backing, paying, and hiring the director and creative staff


Director - person in charge of the artistic production of a play


Actor - male or female playing character roles


The students and I discuss the words for a short time. We then move on to a game of charades. Each student writes down the name of a famous person, movie title, book title, television show, character, etc. on a piece of paper. Those papers are put into a cup. The class is divided into two teams. One person from the team gets up and draws a piece of paper. The student then has to act like what is given to them without speaking or making noise. They get a minute for their team to guess what they are acting like. If their team does not get it in the minute time span, the other team gets a chance to try and steal the point. Whoever has the most points at the end of class is the winner and receives a prize.

Student Planner: Look over vocabulary.
