Synopsis
My 3rd grade classes engaged in an Improvisational Theater Unit focused on ensemble building, story construction and rehearsal process using an improvisational method called Slide Show. Formative assessment and the use of protocols created a positive learning environment in which the students became skilled collaborators.

Inquiry
Do peer, self, and teacher assessment improve student achievement in improvisational theater and in rehearsing improvised scenes?
-
Strategy
Peer and self-assessment. Protocols, checklists, and video were used to guide the students though the process.
