Enduring understanding: We can retell parts of a story by using our imaginations, bodies, and facial expressions to create frozen
images
Essential question: How can we use our imaginations, bodies, facial expressions, and energy to effectively communicate important
details from a story?

Recall a time when they experienced a situation or problem in their life that changed their perspective on things.
Examine the body movement, energy, and facial expression of others in the class to...
Identify who their partners are through pantomiming a phrase which I will provide on index cards (only one other student in
the class will be given the same phrase).
Visualize the feelings felt by the characters in the story, then compose their own snapshot that express such feelings.
Discuss how we can use body, energy, and facial expressions to show feelings.

Assessments
The procedures to gather evidence of students learning of learning objective(s) to include formative (informal) assessments applied
throughout the lesson and a summative assessment (formal) of what students learned by the end of the lesson (include any
assessment tools)
Formative Assessment:
I plan to observe students throughout the lesson, as they interact and communicate with one another, follow directions, and
complete activities (individually and in small groups). To help me assess student performance, I will use a scoring rubric, which I
plan to share with students as well. The rubric will specify objectives (with appropriate criteria and written descriptions of
performance) which will help students understand what the expectations are and stay on task. To help me quickly assess whether or
not students understand a task or concept I will use the thumbs up thumbs down technique. I may also use a checklist to help me
keep track of student progress throughout the lesson. Please see checklist at the end of the lesson plan.
Summative Assessment:
At the end of the lesson, students will demonstrate what they know, understand, and are able to do as performers by having them
practice enough with different prompts that half of the class can create frozen images to a specific prompt with their partner, while
the other half of the class can watch. The other half (audience) will evaluate the performance and provide feedback on something
specific that they can describe.

StudentsPriorAcademicKnowledgeandAssets
The students content knowledge, skills, prior academic experiences, and personal/cultural/community assets to draw upon to
support learning
Students will have just begun the unit on perspectives and point of view. I will begin the lesson by having students recall a time
when they experienced a situation or problem in their life that changed their perspective on things. They will describe how they felt
before and after the incident, situation, or problem. Students will then show me by demonstrating what such feelings look like. The
story, Miguel in the Middle, is about a boy who is faced with a situation that helps change his view of himself.

AcademicLanguageandLanguageSupports
Oral and written language that the students need to learn and use to participate and engage in the content. The planned
instructional supports to help students understand, develop, and use academic language.

InstructionalStrategiesandLearningTasks
A description of what the teacher will do and say and what the students will do during the lesson that 1) uses clear steps that convey

IntroductiontoSettheTone:(5min)
Teacher will:
Wait for everyone to enter the classroom, and take their seats quietly
Point to the words Silence is golden on the voice level chart I created for the lesson

Introduce the drama lesson for the day (use Google slide as visual) (slide 1)
Go over class expectations (slide 2)
Introduce voice level chart (slide 3). Explain each category and what it means (slide 3)
Tell students "today we will using our body, facial expression, and energy to express ourselves, and effectively retell parts
of a story. We will have multiple opportunities to vary the shape, size, level, and direction of our body. We will use our
energy and imagination to express feelings, meaning, and personality. (I changed the order of the words because I see
these words as a progression of skills, first we will work on body shapes, then size, then levels and then focus on adding
direction. Sometimes direction becomes more important when working with others.)
Demonstrate body traits by varying facial expression, shape, size, level, , and direction.
Provide a prompt for me to demonstrate.

Remind students that they will be asked to watch from the side if they are having trouble managing their own behavior.
When they are ready to be in control of themselves they may return to the group.
Ask if there are any questions before we move on.
Students will:
Practice using the voice level chart
Listen quietly (level 0 voice Raise their hands if they have any questions
Notice the different facial expressions I use, the different body shapes I use, and the different levels I use when I model the
same prompt two different ways.
Warm-upExperiences(15min)
Teacher will
Say: We will begin our drama lesson with a warm-up activity that will introduce us to the vocabulary words used in the
story Miguel in the Middle, and give us a chance to practice using our bodies for pantomiming and creating snapshots of
different emotions.
Introduce the activity
Say, Each of you will be given an index card with a phrase that describes a feeling, or an action. Only one other person in
the classroom has the same card with the same vocabulary word and phrase. you must, without speaking, find your partner
by pantomiming what is written on your card.
Hold up a card, and explain, Each person will receive a card with a vocabulary word and a phrase. You will have 30
seconds to read what is on your card and then 30 seconds to decide how you will act out the feeling or action described on
the card.
Say , I will demonstrate for you how it will look. You read the word on the card, the definition and the phrase to yourself in
level 0 voices.
The word is transition or change, and the phrase is, transition from a caterpillar to a butterfly.
Demonstrate by counting down, 3, 2, 1 standing in neutral first, then slowly varying the level, size, and direction before
finally freezing.
Model by starting low using my arm as a wriggling caterpillar, slowly moving my body up as I transition into a cocoon, and
finally standing up tall I will transform into a beautiful butterfly with my arms extended out and freeze in that position.
Say: Freezing means you are frozen in the shape and that you are not moving until I say, 3, 2, 1, back to neutral.
Say: Do your best to focus, stay silent the entire time at level 0 voices, and be careful as to not to bump into anyone around
you. You should stay in the relative space you have created for yourself.
Ask students to stand in front of their desks in neutral position using level 0 voices.
Give the prompt: How can you move your body to look like you're transitioning or changing from a small caterpillar into a
cocoon stuck on a leaf, and finally into a beautiful butterfly with wings spread out.
Repeat, ask students to try it again, in a different way, by trying different ways of making shapes, being at a variety of
levels and turning in different directions while staying in their relative spot.
Students will:
Per my cue, students will practice the same pantomime by demonstrating they understand the rules and the cues.
Stand in front of their desks in a neutral position and show me level 0 voices.
Students will listen for countdown 3, 2, 1, begin,
Slowly Transition from low level caterpillars to high level butterflies using level 0 voices
Listen to the cue, 3, 2, 1, Freeze. Students will freeze in the shape and not move until I say, 3, 2, 1, back to neutral.
