The Lab itself:

Hand out Student Name Tents, make new ones if necessary.

Display/Read Outloud and go over Speaking Schedule and Lab Roles Schedule (use document camera or computer projected, or hand out).  Have students check to make sure they do not have a lab role when they are scheduled to speak, and that they are not speaking two weeks in a row.

Hand out Student Critique templates.  Students don’t write on these, they use them as templates for the sheets they write on.

Have Master of Ceremonies write the speakers on the board, along with

            their reading choice, and choose first speaker from the “hat”.

Go over the Master of Ceremonies tasks with them (make sure speaker ready, timer ready, camera ready, introduce each speaker, facilitate questions at the end, have speaker choose next person from hat, wait until all critique forms are back to speaker before introducing next speaker).

Give Timer the timing sheets.

Give Attendance taker the attendance sheet & have them take attendance.

Make sure the critique forms manager is ready.  After presentations give critiques to TAs.

Critique the dramatic readings (TAs should sit apart from each other and use pencil).

Remind students who are speaking next week, and who is doing what lab role next week. 

Remind students who spoke they will get their grade and the critiques from their peers, next week.

Collect name tents.

After lab:

-Meet with lab partner and reach consensus on the grade for each dramatic reading.  Staple student critiques to Grade sheet.

-Record attendance and grades on excel template and save it in at least three different places.

-Email your students who will be giving a dramatic reading the following week (8-9 students per lab) to remind them to be prepared.
