Unit 1 Intro to drama
Module 3 Goals
Lesson 2 Setting goals

Introduction:
The goal of today's lesson is for you to develop personal goals that you can apply to the Drama 30 course. These goals will become the framework for work that you do throughout the year.

Activities:

Activity 1 - Talking Circle and Discussion

Convene a talking circle. Each person says what his or her strengths and weaknesses in drama are. After completing the circle, you should have a general discussion about setting goals for the class. Define what a goal is, then break in to pairs and discuss the following topics:

1. The reason I took Drama 30. 2. Five skills I wish to have at the end of the course that I do not have now. 3. One overall goal I have for the course. Record this in your journal. • Work on the posters in the assignment section and post them on a class bulletin board. • They will become a visual reminder of the goals, and will be referred to periodically.

Activity 2 - Assignment
Each student should create a poster that represents his or her goals for the year. The posters include the 5 skills you want to acquire, your name, and the goal you establish for the year. The poster is decorated to represent you, and various techniques (collage, illustration, etc.) may be used within a drawing program, depending on your preference (1-2 hrs).

Evaluation:
You will evaluate yourself through the process of making your poster. If the teacher wishes to evaluate the posters, a poster evaluation is available in pdf format. The evaluation focuses on visual attractiveness, and the specificity, clarity and variety of written work.
