The Apple Lesson: Learning to be an Audience
Objective: students compare the impact supportive and unsupportive audience behaviors have on a drama.
Students are unaware of the impact their audience behaviors have on classmates who are performing. This lesson in the 2nd grade school sequence focuses on the audience's role in a drama. Introducing the original story The Apple by Karen Erickson - download it to complete the lesson. The students have the opportunity to play their drama to a quiet supportive audience, then to a rude audience and discuss the results (part of the 2nd grade objectives). This lesson is part of our recommended sequence in the Second Grade Curriculum.
