Description

Class Experience

This is a great course for students who are new to acting and like to read!

Students will learn how to use expression and characterization to perform Reader's Theater versions of classic tales of wonder.

Class Outline:
Each class will begin with vocal warmups.

1. Students will learn about the process of Reader's Theater.

2. Students will learn how to create different character voices through pitch, rate, inflection, and expression.

3. Students will learn how to create an interesting and believable environment for a listening audience.

4. Students are encouraged not to worry about small mistakes and just keep going. The show must go on!

The teacher will provide Reader's Theater scripts as an attachment two days before each class.

Student progress is assessed through their participation in class discussions and Reader's Theater performances.

45 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.

Please be aware that there are stereotypes of Native Americans in the full-length book of Peter Pan. However, we are only reading a small portion of the book in a Reader's Theater format. NONE of the stereotype portions will be read in class.
