Objective:
Students will be able to define a monologue and demonstrate their ability to perform independently by annotating, analyzing, and reading a monologue aloud.

Whole Class: I'll go over the format and expectations for today's lesson. Independent: Students will go to Google Classroom, and open up the doc "1 Exercise Child Actors Can Use to Get Into Character"

Collaborative: Students will work with their partners on the monologues to attempt the best understanding, and therefore, the best performance of the monologue. I will take several volunteers to perform it, and then we will watch the actual performances. Additionally, students will do several "pair and share"s throughout the period to answer questions posed to the class about nonverbal communication. Then, students will engage in several acting exercises aimed at developing believable characters Exit Tickets: Fill out and submit Google Form (<- click there). Objective:
