Instructional Ideas

• Ask class members to select a scene from a musical, views as many versions of the scene as possible, and write a reflection about what they observe about the different interpretations and stagings

Classroom Considerations

• The resource, an overview of a complete unit of instruction, describes the learning outcomes, outlines the learning plan, and identifies assessment and grading criteria of the entire unit; however, no lessons are attached

Pros

• The 13-packet includes a rubric to assess performance skills

Cons

• No link is provided to the lessons in the unit
