Teacher tip
After the lines are drawn, point to things in the room: the class is the audience, the front of the room is the stage, and a ruler can be a prop.
How to use it
- Say each new word out loud with the class and give a quick example.
- Point to real things in the room when you can: the “audience” is the class, the front of the room is the “stage.”
- Read the box at the top of the sheet together, then try the first item out loud as a class.
Watch for
Mixing up the stage and the house. The stage is for actors, the house is for the audience.
Talk about it
