Duration: 45 minutes
Description
Students worked on line delivery, use of emotion, blocking, and status roles. This was a pre-filming requirement to ensure that students were well prepared before signing out a camera. All groups had to present their "rough scenes" for the teachers before being allowed to proceed to actual filming.
ACTIVITY RESOURCES
(e.g. rubrics, examplars, websites, etc.)
REFLECTIONS & COMMENTS
Author Reflections
Students became frustrated if we didn't immediately sign off on their practice rounds. Most of the time, we would give them suggestions/pointers and have them practice some more. This work benefited students later on, because as they began filming, they found themselves much more prepared for acting out the scenes.
