Apply knowledge from exercises to reading for subtext in scenes for the promptbook project. Students do warm-up as a means of getting ready for the lesson. Model a dialogue. Then discuss one character at a time. Talk about how actors can mark their scripts with these tools to remember how to convey the subtext when delivering lines in a performance.
Students prepare skits.
They should practice marking up their scripts and using the tools that convey subtext. Debrief scenes with audience. If students do not mention this is discussion of the skits, explain how the lines were exactly identical but the readings of the lines were different because of the various subtexts. Students get into their promptbook groups. Using what we have learned as a class about subtext, students should read over their scene as a group.
