04.15 - The Good Show and With a Little Help From my Friends

Our class today was focused on preparing for our public figure presentations tomorrow. To do this we did several skit activities to get people used to performing in front of one another/an audience. Everyone responded to the following prompt question in their writing journal:

What is something that you feel everyone should understand or appreciate about your public figure?

Then, I introduced and explained the activity "The Good Show." We did two rounds of this activity (see below). Groups had 5-8 minutes to prepare their skit and then everyone performed their skit in front of the class.

Following these activities we brainstormed a list of elements that made these skits successful.
This list was as follows:

Humor
People in the skit enjoying themselves
No interruptions

With these in mind, everyone used their response to today's prompt regarding what they feel others should appreciate about their public figure.
