Task 2: Teaching the Unseen Characterization

Sorry for the delay. Was busy with exams and revisions.

Story: Father and Son from "Or Else the Lightnight God" by Catherine Lim

Students must have prior knowledge of the plot.

Objective: to study the character of the Father.

1. Students form a group and each group is to pick a scene from the story where there is interaction between the Father and the Son or the Father with the rest of the family.
2. Students are to act out the scene using a 'Freeze Frame' technique.
3. Students must know the characters they are playing and to formulate thoughts about the situation and their feelings about the Father.
4. Groups take turns to act out their "freeze Frame". Teacher will then tap on each character to make them 'alive' and say out their thoughts about Father.
5. Students from other groups take down notes on what other characters feel and think about the Father.
6. At the end of the "Freeze Frame' session, groups discuss on Father's character from the notes.
7. Groups then write down their answers on butcher sheets and present their answers.
