Encourage tinkering with ideas, relationships, connections. Set up situations where students have to find information not readily available in school texts. Provide opportunity for students to design open-ended explorations of the concept. Provide multiple options so students can plan a unique "proof" of learning.

Talk show role play of characters.

Objective: To extend the internalization of what has been learned from the play.

Activity: In small groups of 3 to 7 students, each group will create a talk show. It will include a host/hostess, who will develop in-depth questions to be answered by the characters from the play. Questions may relate to the 4 themes, current issues in our time, relationships in the play, and so forth. The student characters must answer the questions in character, using lines from the play to support their positions, as well as experiences from their own lives.

Assessment: Quality of questions and character answers.
