Tech Theater

Kind of Activity:

Mixed Media

Objective:

To discover the technical and technological aspects of theater-making

Common Core Standards:

CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.3, CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.5

Structure:

In this exercise, students will create technical aspects of a theoretical staging of the play. They may work in groups or alone, at the teacher's discretion.
