Unit Title: Theater Lesson Title: Greek Theater Lesson Alignment to Unit Respond to the following items: a) Identify essential questions and/or unit objective(s) addressed by this lesson. Lesson's Goal - children will know about the history of Greek Theatre Objectives - create prop or design a costume from a famous Greek play, in groups of three explain why their prop or costume is appropriate and necessary for the play b) Connect the objectives to the state curriculum documents, i.e., Program of Studies, Kentucky Core Content, and/or Kentucky Core Academic Standards. Demonstrates effective communication skills (e.g., reading, writing, speaking, listening) - students achieve this by communicating their prop/costume with other students Communicates clearly the focus of instruction and performance expectations to students, parents, and others - students will understand importance of planning in the theater community. Students will write on the bottom of thei projects "Greek Theater," so that when the children bring their projects home, the parents will see that Greek Theater and theater design were the focuses of this lesson. c) Describe students prior knowledge or focus of the previous learning. The lesson privious to this was "The Globe Theater - England" They learned of the Globe Theater and how to notify when a play was about to start here in this age(flag being up and trumpet sounding). They also learned that women did not act so boys took their roles. They leanred that many of Shakespeare's plays were performed first at the Globe Theater. d) Describe summative assessment(s) for this particular unit and how lessons in this unit contribute to the summative assessment. At the end of the lesson there will be an informal question and answer time. Here are some questions I will ask the class What are the two main genres of Greek Theater? Tragedy and Comedy How many actors were on stage during an Ancient Greek Play? Three e) Describe the characteristics of your students identified in Task A-1 who will require differentiated instruction to meet their diverse needs impacting instructional planning in this lesson of the unit. One student with a hearing disability will sit in the front of the room so they can read easier.

A few unneccessary, distracting posters are taken down for my student who has ADD. f) Pre-Assessment: Describe your analysis of pre-assessment data used in developing lesson objectives/learning targets (Describe how you will trigger prior knowledge): I will trigger Prior knowledge from our previous lesson(The Globe Theater - Englad), by passing around the Usborne Book of World History. looking at the page with the Globe Theater Illustrated will trigger memory.

Lesson Objectives/ Learning Targets Objective/target: Students will create their own theater Prop or Design their own costume. In doing so they will understand the importanee of the planning that takes place in the theater community.

Assessment Assessment description: Small groups of students will discuss what their project would offer to a play Assessment Accommodations: If a student struggles to find significance in their piece, I will offer suggestions on what to add to their piece, or even how their original piece is useful. Perhaps by asking how they came up with their design. Assessment description: At the end of class there will be an informal question and answer session reguarding main points during the lesson. Assessment Accommodations: During this session, I will be standing close to the students with IEPs. The student with ADD will concentrate easier that way, and the student who is hearing impaired will be able to hear more clearly.

Instructional Strategy/Activity Strategy/Activity: Students will create their own theater Prop or Design their own costume. Activity Adaptations: N/A Media/technologies/resources: Pictures will be shown of Greek costumes and props in order for students to have inspiration for their own ideas.

smartboard, etc.) After this I will explain the activity to the students and they will work on their costume design or prop design. With twenty minutes of class remaining they will gather in small groups and review their projects amoungst themselves. Lastly, there will be a conclusive review of what they have learned that day, which will be in a verbal question-answer format.
