Hello all! One thing that I have noticed during my observations is that they have a tendency to use a lot of repetition. The school I am observing at only has one theatre class and they are currently working on their one act show. I’ve seen examples of the reciprocal teaching strategy used where the instructors demonstrated how the text was supposed to be said and the student would then attempt to duplicate the action or try something similar to it. I know that I for sure have done the REAP strategy several times before prior to discovering what this method was. The first time I read a Shakespeare play I had no idea what was being said or what was going on. My teacher then went through with us after we read it and we discussed what certain phrases meant. As we went along we made notes about it then got into small discussion groups to “ponder”what the purpose was that the show was written for. Granted I’m pretty sure that this particular method is not what they used for their one act at Grape Creek High School, it is an effective method to consider none the less.
