1.Students should enter the classroom, circle up, and quietly wait
for instruction.
2.Take Role
3.Explain warm-up activity |

|
5. Materials and Aids-
|
-Note cards with various locations and events for students to choose
from
-Empty bucket to put notecards in for drawing |

6. Procedures/Methods-

A. Introduction-
1.Warm up game: Emotional Tableaus
-Students will begin walking around the room at a normal pace being
careful of their classmates. (no running, play fighting, no touching
others)
-The teacher will call out different emotions and say "1,2,3, Tableau!"
-Students will then create a frozen image of that emotion using their
facial expressions and bodies.
(Encourage students to really exaggerate their expressions and use
their whole body as well as their face.)
Emotions: Happy, Sad, Angry, Nervous, Excited, Shocked/surprised,
Proud, Depressed
2. Students should circle back up after the warm-up and debrief the
exercise.
Questions for debrief:
-What emotions were most difficult to create a tableau for?
-What emotions were easiest to create?
-What were some tableaus that you observed from other classmates that
were really good?

B. Development-
1.Tableau Scene activity:
-Break students up into groups of 5-6
2. Tell students that each group will be given a location or event
that they will create a tableau for. The tableau should be like one
big frozen picture that is full of emotion and we can almost see a
story being told.
Ex. If a group has a "basketball game" for their event, maybe we see
some players playing basketball and one player is getting fouled by
the other, maybe their is an angry coach yelling in the background,
and a fan is spilling soda on another fan. Tell them to really think
about how they can make each part of the picture come to life when
they have no movement, no sound, and no props to use.

C. Practice-
1.Each group should grab a notecard from the bucket. Each card has
a location or event that they will create a tableau for. (They should
keep their location a secret from the other groups)
2. Give the groups 10 minutes to decide how they will use everyone
in the group to show this location or event using tableau. (Remind
students that tableaus are frozen and silent) |
| |
|
|
D. Independent Practice-
1.After students have prepared their tableau. Students will then
make an audience and display their tableau for the class.
2.Students should be prepared to hold their tableaus for at least
10 seconds so that the audience can see everything that is happening
in the scene.
3. Ask the audience to raise their hands and explain what they saw
and where they think the scene is taking place. |
