Item description
How about a little leprechaun fun! This lesson focuses on a playwriting exercise, the monologue, and beginning acting using a St. Patrick’s Day theme. Students select an object indicative of St. Patrick’s Day (which the teacher provides from this lesson) and write a monologue speaking as the object. Then, they design the object on their own paper and perform their monologue. Students don’t even realize they are studying play-writing. Just copy and go!
This lesson was created for a creative dramatics, introduction to theater or creative writing class in Language Arts. Need something for a substitute? This would be a good lesson which they could teach effortlessly.
If you are hosting an open house for your students’ parents, this would be a nice performance for them to see.
The product includes:
- Letter to teacher with directions for the lesson
- Teacher’s script-what I say and how I say it
- Six design pages— three in color and three in black and white
- Monologue examples
- Video clip example
- Extension Activities
No prep for the teacher except copying and cuing up a video clip.
Comprehensive? You bet!
Created by an award-winning, veteran drama teacher of thirty-eight years.
