Lesson # 4 Demonstrating the Changing
Family in Chinese History
Estimated Teaching Time = Five 45 minute periods
Objectives
¤
Students will work
cooperatively as a large group composing, producing, and presenting a
multi-scene play in which they demonstrate their acquired knowledge and empathy
for the traditional and revolutionary roles within the Chinese family.
Activities
1.
INTERPERSONAL/LINGUISTIC
- Distribute the Chinese Family Role-Play
Directions (see below).
Assign or allow students to choose roles within an extended Chinese
family. Each student should
research his/her appropriate role.
- Appoint or accept a volunteer to be a stage
manager.
2.
INTERPERSONAL/LINGUISTIC
- Working in smaller family groups, students
should draft dialogues for scenes within a larger play.
- Allow for collaboration among groups until
most transitions between scenes are smooth. Students should rehearse within the classroom or on a
stage if possible.
3.
INTERPERSONAL/INTRAPERSONAL
- Distribute role-play rubric (see below) and a
group assessment have students self assess their efforts.
4.
KINESTHETIC/INTERPERSONAL
- Perform play.
ALTERNATE ASSESSMENT
For students who fear
public performance, or when class sizes or school resources prevent an actual
stage-performed play these alternative assessments could be utilized
instead: a collection of short
stories bound into a book or a series of letters exchanged among family
members.
