Happy, Efficient Acting Companies: February 19, 2019

Focus: How do we set up our Acting Companies to make sure we work happily and efficiently together?

1. Warming up with your Fences vocabulary and circle story telling

2. Setting up expectations for your acting companies and Reader's Theater

3. Working with your acting companies

• Setting up your project work log to function happily and efficiently together

• Reading the plot summary  of the play and of your specific scene together:

• What is your brain connecting the characters/conflicts/situations/word choices to?

• How can you use part of your scene to extend your thinking? What does it help you understand better or differently?

• What are you wondering? What questions can you pose to challenge the text?

HW:
1. For TOMORROW: Complete your Connect, Extend, Challenge blog entry for the scene you read with your acting company today. You need to select THREE lines from your scene; compose your connection, extension, and challenge for each one. These should be published on your personal blog.
