Concept / Topic To Teach:
Standards Addressed:
- Reading/comprehension. The student comprehends selections using a variety of strategies. The student is expected to:
(A) Use his/her own knowledge and experience to comprehend.
(D) Describe mental images that text descriptions evoke.
(F) Determine a text's main (or major) ideas and how those ideas are supported with details.
(G) Paraphrase and summarize text to recall, inform, or organize ideas.
(L) Represent text information in different ways such as in outline, timeline, or graphic organizer.
- Reading/literary response. The student expresses and supports responses to various types of texts. The student is expected to:
(A) Offer observations, make connections, react, speculate, interpret, and raise questions in response to texts.
(B) Interpret text ideas through such varied means as journal writing, discussion, enactment, and media.
(D) Connect, compare, and contrast ideas, themes, and issues across text.
- Reading/text structures/literary concepts. The student analyzes the characteristics of various types of texts (genres). The student is expected to:
(E) Compare communication in different forms such as contrasting a dramatic performance with a print version of the same story or comparing story variants.
(H) Analyze characters, including their traits, motivations, conflicts, points of view, relationships, and changes they undergo.
General Goal(s): Students demonstrate reading comprehension of plot.
Specific Objectives: Students will create a visual presentation of a short story interpretation using Photo Story 3 and "tableau vivant" method.
Required Materials: Variety of short stories, digital camera, computer with Photo Story 3 software, a microphone.
Anticipatory Set:
Engage: Students will be shown a photo of Rodin’s The Thinker. Ask students to infer what might be happening in this image. Discuss why and how students interpret the artist’s intent. Explain how the artist conveys meaning using images (other images could be used).
Explain: Tableau vivant means "living picture". The term describes a striking group of carefully posed models. Throughout the duration of the display, the people shown do not speak or move. The approach thus marries the art forms of the stage with those of painting/photography. The students will be producing a tableau based on a short story and documenting it.
Step-By-Step Procedures:
- Small groups will be assigned a short story to read and interpret.
- A series of tableaus will be created by the students to interpret the story (4 or 5).
- The tableau presentation will be photographed using digital cameras.
- The digital images will be used in Photo Story 3 to create a windows media video (.wmv).
- The short story will be read to narrate the tableau images.
Plan For Independent Practice: Students can produce their own tableau presentations about short stories.
Closure: Explain how the exercise demonstrates how artists interpret text to create images.
Assessment Based On Objectives: Final product should have 4 to 8 images and be between 2 and 4 minutes long.
Adaptations (For Students With Learning Disabilities): Slow readers will practice recorded reading.
Extensions (For Gifted Students): Students will journal about their experience.
Possible Connections To Other Subjects: Could be adapted for social studies - reenacting historical events.
