Classroom Activity 3


    

The Incredible Shrinking



Dialogue




Level:


Upper Intermediate and above



Time required:


60 minutes, depending on class size



Goals:


To encourage students to analyze a text to find the most

 important ideas; to give students practice in paraphrasing,

speaking, and performing



Materials:


short dialogues with 4 or 5 lines for speakers A and B or

cartoon strips with 6–10 panels




Background:


This activity is based on the concept of improve comedy,

which is dialogue and action that actors create

spontaneously to make an audience laugh.



The students do not need to know this, but they do need

 to know that this activity depends on a template—a set

 of steps the students perform—and that through these

steps, they can make the audience laugh.



Procedures:


1. Put students into pairs. As each pair performs ,

the activity,

a student from another pair can act as timekeeper.

2. Tell the students what they will do in each round of this

 activity so that they can prepare for the full activity before

 performing in front of the class:

Round 1:


Read the dialogue while acting it out with gestures.



Round 2:


Shorten the dialogue and act it out in half the time.

Paraphrase well\ to keep the main ideas, and use

gestures to enhance the audience’s understanding.



Round 3:


Shorten the dialogue again and act it out in 5 seconds.

Be sure to keep the main idea and use gestures.



Round 4:


Act out the dialogue in 1 second. You should use gestures,

but you have time for each speaker to say only one word.


3. Hand out dialogues to each pair. Each pair must have

a different dialogue. Student A will have several lines to

 speak, and Student B will have several lines to speak.

The best dialogues to use include some action (gestures,

 facial expressions, and body movement) and some kind

of conflict.



If you don’t have dialogues, or if you want to give students

practice writing creatively, have them work in pairs to write

 their own dialogues or create their own cartoon strips.

Students can then exchange those dialogues.



The pair that receives the dialogue acts it out. You can

promote the creation of new dialogues by asking students

to use vocabulary they are currently studying.



For example, if students are learning about holidays, have

 them write dialogues focused on those holidays. In this

way, the activity provides vocabulary practice and review.

4. Each pair practices the dialogue together to prepare to

present it in front of the class. Students should practice the

dialogue enough times so that they feel comfortable reading it.



Tell students to use action with their hands or body whenever

possible and also to use facial expressions to show meaning.

Students do not have to memorize the dialogue when they act

it out and in fact should read the script exactly for Round 1.




Round 2.

The students must shorten the dialogue so that they can

read it and act it out in half the time. Depending on students’

abilities,they should probably write out the shortened

dialogue and practice it, making sure it takes exactly

half the time.



Round 3:

Students shorten the dialogue again, making sure they can

perform it in 5 seconds. Finally, the pair should decide on the

one word each student will say in Round 4.



5. Have the students perform their dialogues in front of the

class. Before each pair performs, assign someone from another

pair to act as timekeeper.

Round 1:


It should take the students about 30 seconds to 1 minute

 to act out the dialogue. When the students finish, the

 timekeeper should note how long Round 1 has taken.



Round 2:


The two students perform a shortened dialogue in half

 the time. If Round 1 took 1 minute, Round 2 should take

30 seconds; if Round 1 took 30 seconds, Round 2 should

take 15 seconds. The students should shorten the

dialogue but keep as much of the original meaning as

possible.



Because the pair planned out and practiced each round

before performing, they should need only a few seconds

at the end of Round 1 to prepare to perform Round 2.

The timekeeper should yell out and stop the action

 when the time is up.




It is important that the pair keep the dialogue to the

correct amount of time. It is not okay for students to

do the dialogue in much less time or much more time

than the round allows. Controlling the time in this way

 helps the class appreciate the humor of the activity.




Round 3:


The students perform the shortened dialogue in 5

seconds. The students must keep the meaning of

the original dialogue while also making sure not to

go over 5 seconds. The timekeeper should make

sure that the dialogue does not go over 5 seconds.




Round 4:


The students perform the dialogue one final time,

 but this time in 1 second. There is usually enough

 time for Speaker A to say one word and Speaker

 B to say one word.



What words correctly capture the meaning of the

whole dialogue? The students must decide. The

 timekeeper usually doesn’t do anything for this

step because the performers are in a hurry.
