01 - Emergency Lesson Plans: Middle School Drama Class Task Sheets

by Drama Teacher Academy

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.
