Quick Ideas for Using the Video:
- Use the video with a scene writing activity. Pair students and have one act as a dramaturg while the other is the playwright. How does the process work for the students? What is helpful? What is a hindrance? Switch roles or pair students off with different people to take on the other role.
*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.
