TSI 2006 Assignment Sheet

 

 

Performance Presentations

Michael’s Performance Class

There will be two group work assignments -- a dumb show and a box set
exercise. Both will be assigned during one of our five sessions and
due on the fifth session for in-class presentations.

             

 

Performance Presentations

Caleen’s Performance Class

You will be assigned some lines of text to explore through performance.  Your five classes with Caleen will consist of techniques that enable you to workshop your piece.  It’s not about acting.  The emphasis is on discovering the text by experiencing it on your feet.  Class number five will be a culminating celebration and sharing of work.

Primary Source Materials

Two primary source “mini-lessons”:  identify 1-6 pages of two different primary sources that teachers may find useful in the classroom.  Include a descriptive paragraph about the source and three brief teaching ideas from three TSI teachers.

Lesson Plans

One complete lesson plan on Julius Caesar and two complete lesson plans that focus on Macbeth, Tempest, and/or Shakespeare’s sonnets.  These should be written up using Folger lesson plan format.  You will pull teaching ideas from the different Institute sessions together to create these plans, which may incorporate primary sources or performance.  Caesar will be a group project.
