Unit 1Using Mime, Puppets and the Imaginat ion
Mime and s tory te l l ing are among the most anc ientforms of communicat ion known to our spec ies. Inth is , the f i rs t un i t in our handbook, we draw uponthese anc ient forms to open up the s tudents ’ imag-inat ions, chal lenging them to par t ic ipate in the creat ion of a s tory.
Mime, puppetry and improv isat ion funct ion as power fu l incent ives for the s tudents to not on lyinvent s tor ies, but a lso to l is ten more at tent ive ly toothers and ga in conf idence in publ ic speaking.

This ser ies of lessons uses ro le drama to examine var ious conf l ic ts f rom mul t ip le perspect ives dur ing cr i t ica l moments inAmer ican Colon ia l h is tory. In a ser ies of h is tor ica l scenar ios,characters are faced wi th d i f f icu l t cho ices to make: a youngindentured servant on the Mayf lower must dec ide how to handle the ensuing rebel l ion that leads to the Mayf lowerCompact ; a fa ther and son debate the mer i ts o f loya l ty to thecrown vs. the ca l l to rebel l ion; a Lenape t r ibe must choosewhom to s ide wi th in the midst o f the Amer ican Revolut ion; ayoung Amer ican so ld ier, f ight ing in the darkest moments of theWar for Independence, overcome the hardships of what looksto be a lost cause. In the f ina l lesson p lan, a s lave rebel l ionpresents a tanta l iz ing oppor tun i ty for a brother and s is ter toweigh the cost o f f reedom against the danger invo lved toachieve i t .

The oppor tun i t ies for creat ive wr i t ing increase as thestudents become progress ive ly engaged.
In th is un i t , s tudents are in t roduced to the nat ional ep ic poem ofthe Roman Empire, the Aeneid, where in they meet both myth ica l characters and anc ient Roman gods.

Th is work connects the f i rs t Roman Emperor Augustus Caesar and the Ju l ianc lan to the semi-d iv ine Aeneas, a myth ica l and anc ient ancestor o fthe founders of the c i ty o f Rome.
Through s tory te l l ing, improv isat ion, movement , thought- t rack ingand scr ip twr i t ing, s tudents exp lore the s ign i f icance of the Aeneid, a foundat ion s tory reveal ing the at t r ibutes every Roman c i t izen needed to embody. They a lso examine the i r own va lues and compare the Aeneid s tory to one about a young GeorgeWashington.
Note to teacher : As we worked wi th var ious c lasses, we d iscoveredthat the Aeneid prov ided many oppor tun i t ies for dramat ic act ionand wr i t ing. Feel f ree to expand the lessons as needed, or sk ipsome i f there are t ime const ra in ts .
