Emergency Lesson Plan: Playwriting Concept - I Can Make People Laugh or Cry With My Words

by Drama Teacher Academy

Students will read a text that shares a point of view on a specific playwriting concept. They will freewrite their first impression of the text, answer questions on the text to develop their own personal opinion, and then complete a theatrical response to the text. Do they agree with the text? Disagree? Do they theatricalize the concept? This could be a scene, monologue, performance poem, costume, or set design, anything that can be put on paper and submitted.
