Quick Ideas for Using the Video:

  • Use the video with a scene writing activity. Place students in groups with one acting as the main playwright and others as dramaturgs and/or actors. Take the scene from its inception through revisions to a workshop performance with the rest of the class providing feedback. Then continue to a final performance with audience.

 

*Topical videos are filmed on location in the classroom/workspace/laboratory, in studio, or a combination of both to explain and/or demonstrate specific concepts, events, topics, or processes.

**The unique Video ID can be used to quickly locate a single video in the ET collection.
