UDL in the Drama/Theatre Classroom - Video Overview
The framework table below includes ideas on how to customize and adjust a seventh grade drama/theatre lesson that focuses on the creation and performance of a script through the characterization of sock puppets. The lesson includes standards 7.CR.1.3, 7.CR.2.2, 7.PR.1.2, 7.PR.2.1, and 7.PR.3.1. Instruction includes a warm-up, group work on the concept of adapting a script from a book, discussion to further student understanding of constructing original sock puppets, a vocalization/characterization drama game, and an exit ticket. As the teacher prepared the lesson, the framework below guided their planning and helped ensure all students would have access and be able to participate in a meaningful, challenging learning opportunity.
