Option A: Collective creation (continued)

Lessons Thirteen to Fifteen: Rehearsing and Performing the Collective Creation

• increase awareness of various structures, presentational styles and staging possibilities

• continue to demonstrate critical thinking and support opinions using appropriate language and vocabulary when responding
to works of dramatic art

Sometimes students will decide to perform their collective creations before an audience, or they may simply decide to videotape the work for their own reflection and documentation purposes.

Students who commit themselves to performing their work will need to rehearse and polish it. The performance may be rehearsed as an improvisational piece or as a scripted work which might require that the students write outside of class time. Encourage the students to keep their staging techniques simple.

During summative reflection, encourage the students to recall the strengths of their creative problem-solving process as well as the final experience.
