Day 3: Why we do theatre/Morality Plays, Mystery Plays, and Miracle Plays
Objective:
Students will be able to demonstrate their understanding of the value of theatre by presenting their advocacy projects and their understanding of Morality/Miracle/Mystery plays by participating in discussion.
Materials Needed:
White board and markers, York Mystery Plays trailer
Hook:
I’m way excited to see what you came up with for why you do theatre. We’ll start on one side of the room and everyone just briefly show us/tell us about what you chose to do and why you do theatre.
Discussion: What is the power of theatre and the arts in general? What were the most convincing and helpful stories/explanations? How would we as a class pitch the continuance of the arts in our school to our school board?
Make sure to turn in your paper/collage/painting/whatever you have
Grade these out of 20 points based solely on effort – did they answer the question? Did they put effort and thought into the project?
