This is part of an intro package that I give my high school drama students to help them understand the parts of the stage. This is key info for them to learn right off the bat! The handout covers: -A map of the stage (it uses short forms for the, such as "UL, and we will it out together - "upstage left" and so forth...upstage, downstage, left, right, centre) -The positions to stand on stage (it uses Homer Simpson for this to help as a memory trigger - it works!) ***NEWLY UPDATED WITH A MATCHING POWERPOINT/PDF -This shows them the types of stages, and goes through the map of the stage and the positions to stand in more detail. This is important because the director uses these cues, and they must know it. TIP - we play a game called "stage sardines" for them to practice this, so fun! -they all stand together REALLY close like a group of sardines -I call out stage directions -they all have to move there as ONE UNIT (hilarious and helpful!)

This is SUCH a fun tableau project that works perfectly for middle school, high school juniors, or even seniors. They absolutely love this one, and their presentations are always successful. It asks students to create six freezes in tableau within their groups, based off imaginary and real news headlines (this keeps them from all doing the same "go to" news stories and keeps it super creative and fun!). It also gives them a basis to work from...I find if projects are too open-ended for juniors students, they can lose focus. There's a part on the assignment sheet that also includes the elements that make for a good, successful tableau. These things are key! And this helps them understand them. Also included is a rubric to make making easy. NOTE - there's two rubrics on one page to keep it simple...sometimes I give group marks, sometimes individual marks, so this makes it easier to keep from flipping from too many pages at once! I give them three days to complete this, but of course it's up to you and what works for your class...sometimes I give them a week if they need it. -two days rehearsals (first day brainstorming and writing out basic script) -last day presentation Enjoy!! TIPS -have the anchors be involved with the freeze by having them "react" in tableau with exaggerated faces and body language -can have MULTIPLE freezes per headline can also work for stronger groups -can re-mix it so they're all freezes for imaginary for really strong groups as well -can re-mix it with headlines from the PAST/PRESENT/FUTURE (this can be so fun!)

This is an important handout to help students understand the RULES OF THEATRE. The first handout is blank, with images explaining the fourth wall - you could give them this, and add your own OR I included an "answer key" with the ones I teach them...you could always just print this too and give it to them as is. **newly updated with a matching Powerpoint/PDF to show visual examples! They usually come up with their own, too, as the course goes along - we keep adding them into this handout. It goes through important ones like -no back to audience -don't chew gum -don't break the 4th wall etc. They MUST understand these, because on every rubric we give, it includes "following the rules of theatre". Every assessment involves these!
