Have members decide on who will fill the roles of the characters in the play and practice their parts. Encourage students to interpret their roles by speaking with expression, varying the volume and pace of their voices appropriately. Point out that students must project their voices so they can easily be heard by everyone in the audience. Encourage the student audience to pay close attention. After each play is performed, have the class offer constructive criticism.
Groups can then rework their plays for presentation to friends, parents, and relatives.
