Step-by-Step Sequence of Learning using these cognitive processes - experience, inquiry, creation, performance, reflection, assessment Lesson Three – The Art of Mime: The Silent Language of our Feelings Assessing Prior Knowledge What is Mime? What specific skills would a Mime artist need? EXPERIENCE – Getting Smarter Teacher demonstrates the “stealth walk” using slow motion and silence, like a lion sneaking through the jungle. One student performs “stealth walk” alone. Next, a group of three performs. Whole class uses “stealth walk” to create the silent circle. Whole class engages in simple warm-up activities. o Stretch up toward sky on tiptoes. o Bend forward dangling arms like a piece of spaghetti. o Curl up slowly. o Fill up with air like a balloon. Let the air out. o Arch back with arms opened like you‟re about to give someone a hug. o Curl forward scrunching your arms in like you‟re hiding. Demonstrate 5-finger exercise in preparation for pantomime. Create a fixed point in space. o Identify placement of objects by practicing the technique of grab/release. o Establish where the object is by moving and “fixing” the point. Demonstrate the creation of solid objects. o Use tension to show strength and resistance. o Form shapes with hands to show solid objects in Carnival of the Animals: Zoo cage bars (straight lines), Ball (sphere). o Practice grabbing onto zoo cage bars and letting go. o Use tension to show strength and resistance. o Create straight lines keeping the hands equidistant. Clay Motion o Create clay statues by moving our bodies as if they are made of clay – use slow, thick clay-like movement. o Commands: “Hold still when I say „Freeze!‟ Start moving again when I say, „Go‟.” Slowly go back to your neutral position when I say, „Back to neutral‟.” o Teacher & students move together: “Hands are made of clay, arms are made of clay, torso is made of clay, legs are made of clay, and whole body is made of clay. Freeze!” o Repeat going to different levels as instructed by the teacher. The levels are: high, medium, low. o Practice freezing with a sharp stop.
