This introduction to poetry gives teachers ideas on teaching poetry minlessons that make a difference in how your students think about poems.
No matter how often I tell my students that acting is about telling the story of the play, too many of them are concerned with dialogue exclusively and forget that what they do is as important as what they say. Of course dialogue is an important part of the storytelling process, but it is only one of the tools necessary to get the story told. Too often students are focused on the words and themselves rather than on their scene partners. They cite their objectives and tactics and then fail to apply them to what is going on in the moment. They rely on the literal meaning of the dialogue rather than on its use in the context of the situation. As a result, they fail to find the story arc the playwright has provided. Ultimately it is the moment-to-moment give and take that happens onstage between actors that makes the stories being told believable, fresh, surprising, and compelling. Yes, it is essential that actors be able to analyze a script and find the story it holds, but once the analysis and synthesis part is initiated and developed, the good actor must be able to trust that the fruit of his or her homework is present, and then focus on the moments as the scene unfolds. Being in the moment is a skill the best actors always possess, and it is a trait that we can and should work on in our classes.
