Thursday, December 22

Objective: SWBAT participate in a series of acting exercises to help them feel more comfortable acting in front of the class.  SWBAT create their own version of a play that maintains the original play's style/tone.

Do-Now: What are some common stereotypes about the city of Philadelphia?  What are some common stereotypes about the people who live in Philadelphia?

Today: 1) Class will participate in an acting exercise where they must have an entire conversation using all the letters in the alphabet as the start of each line.

2) Class will read "The Philadelphia" and discuss how the play makes fun of the city of Phildelphia and its people.

3) Students will write their own version of "The Philadelphia."

Exit Slip: What did you choose to parody in your version of "The Philadelphia?"  How did you parody this?
