Activities:
Each
person will try three lines: "I hate you", "I
love you", and "I feel sad":
1)
recall the emotion
2) feel the emotion out of the context it happened in
3)
find the impulse to say the line because of the emotion
It
is important that the students refrain from saying the line
until they feel the emotional impulse to do so. Each line
will need to be said multiple times before the impulse and
magnification of the emotion are real for the audience.
The job of the partner is to keep saying "again, please"
until the line is said in a manner that is impacts emotionally.
When the partnership has succeeded in this process with
all three lines, they switch jobs (30 min. +).
Instructional
Strategies: Reflective Studies, Role Playing
Evaluation:
Students evaluate quality of the emotional response their
partners express.
On-line
Activity Alternatives: Journals can be done through
e-mails and attachments, or in some platforms, in a student
hand-in section. The partner activity would be done the
same way in the remote locations and evaluated by the partner.
The students could then e-mail the teacher with how the
assignment went.
