Assessment -- "Trifles" Reading Comprehension Check
--when finished taking the assessment, add any additional questions that you developed when reading "Trifles" to the front board/work on drawing the set (if you have not already done so)
--assessments collected
Activity #1 -- Creating the Set
--place items around the stage via SmartBoard--then, create the set physically
Activity #2 -- Staging a Production of "Trifles"
--assign roles (directors, actors, and investigators)
--independent work time (directors envision execution of stage directions and delivery of lines--jot down notes [divide and conquer!], actors read through and highlight stage directions/lines [bad copy--may have to write words in--Mr. Martin apologizes!], and investigators continue answering questions)
--group work time (directors put heads together and compare notes, actors read lines together, and investigators compare notes--directors and actors get together on stage and do a quick run-through)
--put on the play (time permitting)!
HW
--We will pick right back up with "Trifles" next class.
