Goal
Theatre unlocks learning potential. This experience will enhance the quality of the lives of students and community members by bringing Gulfshore Playhouse directly to our school.
These enriching programs are designed specifically for our region and infuse theatre-based pedagogy with curriculum standards to enhance learning.
By getting students out of their seats, moving around, and performing, they will remember what they do and have fun learning about a difficult topic to understand. This will carry over into their interpretation of Shakespeare's work and the Elizabethan era, improving their reading comprehension and confidence.
What will be done with my students
Using performance activities, students will get to have a hands-on approach to Shakespeare's work so that they understand it and remember it.
Gulfshore Playhouse Education and ThinkTheatre staff will lead a 50-minute interdisciplinary workshop, consisting of eight sessions, for a classroom composed of 9th grade students. They will perform works of William Shakespeare, which will directly relate to the 9th Grade Best Standards curriculum, and classroom activities.
Benefits to my students
Students will be will be engaged in this experience and it will transfer to their classroom learning. This will foster a love of learning. They will gain confidence and will be able to understand Shakespeare on a deeper level. This will improve their reading comprehension and understanding of conflicting character perspectives. In addition, students will learn how to compare and analyze universal themes. These are very difficult topics to master when only reading. The performance aspect will make this a lasting learning memory.
