Monologue development sheet

This is a great resource for peer assessment. This sheet requires students to watch and evaulate the voice and movement skills of their peers and for their peers to assess them.

Using rag rating, students make a judgement about voice and physicality in performance which is then quality checked by someone else and this has lead to some thoughtful discussion.

This task works particularly well if the class are working on monologues in pairs who can be joined into groups of four (there are four roles on the sheet; the performer, the peer assessor, the quality control assessor and the understanding assessor). We usually rotate roles so each student gets a chance to assess and perform.

It also has a feedforward / reflection activity where each student has to identify their successes and area for development - it also requires them to consider the ways in which they can improve each of those things when working with their partner in future lessons.
