LESSON PLAN
Objectives, Tactics, and Emotional Shaping
by Anna Porter
Students will understand the importance of raising the stakes in their performance through their objective and tactics. Students will also understand how their choice of tactics, and their intensity, creates emotional shaping in their performance.
Students explore tactics choices, obstacles and emotional shaping while playing the “Candy Bar Game.” Students have an objective to get a chocolate bar, but have a variety of obstacles in their way to do so. They have to choose tactics to help them get their objective and explore the emotions that come as they get closer and closer to the goal.
An excellent activity to show students exactly what it means to have an objective, to employ a tactic and the emotions attached to doing so.
