GRADE 8- 4th week august

1. The big picture: 4 quadrants game- learning emotions & characterization and how to
switch emotions and characters with a snap of a finger.

2. Objectives: tuning in students to learn 9- ras/ 9 emotions and character building in future
classes

3. Engagement: 4 quadrants is an exciting theatre exercise. Each quadrant represents an

emotion and when a student steps into that quadrant, they have to switch into that emotion.
2 students perform a scene and keep changing emotions and hence the tone of the scene.
Each student in the pair are asked to prepare 2 characters they will play and when the
teacher claps, they have to switch the character in the scene. This exercise brings
unexpected results. It is challenging and builds curiosity because one can never prepare for
an exercise like this.

4. ‘Stickability’: Their ability to quickly switch characters and emotions or the lack of it.
Students will be intrigued to learn if they find themselves unable to do this exercise well.
Students will be able to dig deeper about what thoughts easily provokes which emotions in
them as every human has a different stimuli.

5. Assessment for Learning: I will do a teacher assessment after they perform. Students who
are able to perform well will be encouraged to take leadership and help their peers while
students who need the most help will be given personal attention during characterization and
9 emotion workshops.
