Full Lesson Plan
Reflect quietly on the what happened in the play/scene you saw—recall
sensory imagery in particular. Think of the most memorable moment for
you—the moment of greatest emotional or sensory impact. Write down ten
words that connect to that moment. From those words try to think of an
image that works for you as a metaphor for that moment. You may draw,
find photographs, images from artist’s paintings, sculptures, etc. or an
image from a magazine.
When we bring our images together, get together in small groups—size
negotiable. Take your images and without referring to what they
represent (We will discuss later) make up a scene that uses your
images. Do not repeat what you saw that brought you to these images,
but rather think of it as inspiration.
