After
(Reflecting/Connecting/
Consolidating)
15 minutes
The performance piece occurs
after students have had the time to
consolidate their tableaus.
Next, the groups assemble as a
theatre-in-the-round and travel
from one station to another.
Each group will become animated
and will live through the issues
which face them in the presence of
an audience.
The living tableau can also answer
questions from the audience.
Assessment of Learning
Students can be evaluated on
their drama skills, but also on the
sensitivity and insight they bring
to transforming and exploring the
human dimension of these factual
aspects.
They may also be assessed on the
types of questions they pose.
Historical Perspective is the
thinking skill relevant to this
activity.
Have students reflect:
• Why is an idea or belief
accepted in the past not
appropriate today?
• How did different individuals
or groups see and react to
events at the time?
• Why is that different from
today?
Analyze the tension between
conflicting past and present day
viewpoints about historic events.
Individual
Practice
(A question for
extension that students
can do independently to
assess understanding of
the concept(s).)
Write a reflection of your tableau/
performance. Be sure to answer
the following questions in your
reflection:
• What/Who was the subject of
the performance?
• What experiences was the
group trying to convey?
• What elements of drama did
your group use to convey this
message?
• What is the historical
significance of those who
lived through those times?
• What agency would you say
your character was trying to
exhibit?
• How did you feel while you
were in the role of that person
living in those conditions/
during that time?
