Lesson Plan


 * ** __Title of lesson__ **
 * Diction/Song/Specticle/Catharisis ** ||
 * __**Objectives**__ (“why” of the lesson, where and how does it fit into the course/curriculum)

=
........ 1)Show video clip (students will reflect on the topic they learned the day before, which includes character and thought. They will be asked to identify the tragic hero, and how the concepts of character and thought are demonstrated in the video clip.)=====

=
........ 2)Skits (students will be divided into three different groups. Each group will be given the task to create a short skit based on their previous knowledge of one of this topics; diction, song, and spectacle. Each group will also be given the option to use the provided outline.)=====

=
........ 3)Power point presentation (students, after performing their assigned skit, will be introduced to a power point presentation that will allow them to learn diction, song, spectacle, and catharsis in a more detailed way.)=====

=
........ 5)Reflection (students will show their understanding of the topics taught in class that day by relating diction, song, spectacle, and catharsis to a movie, book, or play they have seen or read. This will demonstrate if the students have learned the topics, and if they are able to explain how those topics relate to their life's today.)===== || By the end of the lesson students should be able to fully understand the concept of Catharsis and its place in tragedy. As well as, students should be able to comprehended the importance that diction, song, and spectacle have in a tragedy based on Aristotle’s idea of a perfect tragedy**.** || To focus the students attention we will start by showing them a short video clip of a part of Toy Story. They will then have to answer questions given by us concerning the video. Those question will involve what was taught last class, meaning character and thought, as well as plot. || Students should have an overview of Aristotle’s idea of a tragedy as well as of diction, song, and spectacle that was taught to them by the definition of tragedy group. Students are not expected to now what catharsis is, or how it relates to tragedy. || The main concepts integrated with the lesson must be catharsis, diction, spectacle and chorus. This must include the definition of each (or how each was defined by Aristotle), and how they all relate to tragedy or catharsis. Therefore the subjects will be introduced in order, beginning with diction, followed by chorus and spectacle and finally reaching catharsis.
 * ** __Learning outcome(s)__ ** (what will students be able to do/know by the end of the lesson)
 * ** Bridge-in ** (focus student attention)
 * ** Pre-test ** (activate and diagnose prior knowledge)
 * ** Input from you ** (main content: ideas, information, concepts, principles, procedures and examples)

|| ** Guided practice ** (application of knowledge: classroom activities for students, problem to solve, etc.)

There will be questions that will guide the students through the lesson so we allow them to recognize the main objectives of the lesson so that they can focus on learning the given specific material. These activities will include given questions in a sheet, and a constant process of questions throughout the lesson.

|| In order to help students understand, we are going to assign two or three questions that they will have to complete with the information we are teaching them. This will help to keep the attention of the student. The questions we are giving to them are the review question, this will allow them to obtain the answers for those question which will help them study for the test later on. The students will then have to teach the other students the answer to the questions they have, which will help then study as well. || During the presentation we will be asking questions about the topic we are teaching to see if the students are understanding and to see if they are paying attention. At the end of the lesson if there is time, we will ask each person to explain the question they got before the lesson started to the rest of the students, by this we will see if they understood and can correct them if there is something wrong. We will also ask for any questions that the students might have about an specific part of the topic that was taught. ||
 * ** Closure ** (recap key concepts, helps students consolidate knowledge)
 * ** Check for understanding ** (what questions will you ask and when to determine students understand)
