    Begin with a padlet asking students their favorite cartoon characters

    Ask if any students can do impressions of any of the characters

    Lead that into a discussion of characterization through voice

    Discuss how voice, tone, and emotion can play a role in shaping a character

    Talk about why certain cartoon characters have the voice they do, and how that aids in

    painting a picture of the character (i.e. Patrick Star has a slow, low voice because he

    is dumb)

    Have students write emotions on slips of paper and put in a hat

    In another hat, put slips of voices and dialects (Yoda, Batman, British, Valley Girl

    Go around the room and have each student pull out an emotion and a voice, and do their

    best to create a character

    Go around twice, the first time allow them to improv for 30ish seconds, the second

    time, they must distill it down to one word/noise

    Debrief as to how the students felt, what went well, what didn't go well

    If there is time, bring out a Dr. Seuss book and have students go around and speed read it

    page, each page with a different student and a different character/voice

    Integrate out and break for day

    Assessment:
    Break students into groups of 3-4

    Have them each draw a voice and a situation (that will also be written on a slip)

    Give them half the class to devise a piece that has a beginning, middle and end,

    implementing the voices and creating clear characters

    Perform pieces for the rest of the class during second half
