Instructional Ideas
- Introduce the lessons by showing a video, available on YouTube, of a Blue Man Group performance
- The lesson designed for grades 6-8 suggests allotting 20 minutes for groups to draft their trickster tales; consider expanding the time to a full class period and having groups compose their tale on computers so that the next day their stories can be projected for class members to read and consider
Classroom Considerations
- The 12-page packet includes language arts, fine arts, and sciences lessons for multiple grade levels
- Requires extra prep time to collect materials
Pros
- The lessons identify required materials, include discussion questions, and pacing guides
Cons
- None
