How it works:
Students work in groups of 2–3 to create and perform a 1–2 minute silent scene using only body language, movement, facial expressions, and space to tell a story or convey a clear emotion. Without any dialogue, their audience should still understand the message from the performance alone.

Skills students will develop:

• Non-Verbal Communication – mastering gestures, facial expressions, and movement to express meaning
• Collaboration – working together to plan, rehearse, and refine a performance
• Creativity & Critical Thinking – finding innovative ways to communicate a story without words
• Performance Skills – engaging an audience through energy, expression, and physical storytelling

In this assignment, students choose (or are assigned) one object or concept and explain it three different ways:

• For a child: simple, fun, and easy to understand
• For a peer: clear, casual, and relatable
• For an expert: precise, technical, and detailed

Through planning, writing, practicing, and presenting, students will learn how to adjust tone, vocabulary, and details to perfectly match their audience.
