You need Emergency Lesson Plans. The unexpected comes up all the time. This Emergency Lesson Plan Collection (30 lessons) will address all of your concerns and take into account all of your sub’s questions. Every Emergency Lesson Plan includes substitute instructions, handouts, and assessment suggestions.

This ebook contains 15 different task sheets, designed to be used as Emergency Lesson Plans for middle school students. A task sheet is a sheet that provides students with a task to complete. Each task will have an itemized list of steps. All tasks are written so they can be completed individually and independently using pen and paper. If you are a computer or laptop one-to-one school, simply adapt any substitute instruction to reflect that students will work digitally and submit online. Emergency Lesson Plans: Middle School Drama Class Task Sheets includes Single-Task Sheets, meaning all the instructions have a single-subject focus (monologues, scene writing, theatre vocabulary). Task Sheets come with additional handouts and worksheets to make it as straightforward as possible for substitutes to give information to students and for students to complete their tasks.

In this lesson, students will review what they have learned over the past year in drama class, reflect on their successes and challenges, and create an 8 song soundtrack that demonstrates this self-reflection. Students will answer reflection questions, explain their song choices and end by creating an album cover and a title for their soundtrack.

In this lesson, students will work in groups to select a song, analyze its lyrics, and plan movements and gestures for a lip-sync performance. Use this lesson at the end of the year, after a major assessment, or following a year-end/semester-end production.

In this lesson, students will analyze and stage a scene from a Victorian ghost story using only low-tech solutions. They must design lighting, sound, and costumes without traditional theatrical equipment or period-accurate attire. Instead, they will rely on atmosphere, found lighting, and live sound effects to bring the genre to life. Students will have two days to prepare and execute a one-minute memorized scene that showcases their design choices. Use this lesson at the end of the year, after a major assessment, or following a year-end/semester-end production.
