Intra-Act Method
Intra-Act Method
For this assignment, I decided to modify one of the lessons from my unit plan
(below). If incorporating the Intra-Act Method into this lesson, I would have it take place
during the guided practice portion of the lesson plan. The Intra-Act Method would
occur as follows:
1. Comprehension. During this phase I will give background information about Mark
Twain and his family, because we will be reading one of his speeches. I will ask students
to make predictions based on the title of the speech, Stage Fright. I will put students in
groups of 4 and assign a leader for each group. After reading the text, the team leaders
will lead a discussion that summarizes the text.
2. Relating. The team leaders must then shift their discussion from important ideas to
the other group members reactions to what they read.
3. Valuation. Each student will be given a game sheet containing the following
statements:
Everyone struggles with stage fright.
Stage Fright can only occur when someone is on a big stage.
Mark Twain did not like being on stage.
Mark Twain taught his daughter how to sing.
4. Reflection. The game sheet will be scored. Each student takes a turn revealing his/her
responses to the statements. I will be acting as facilitator during this time, making notes
about how students are responding.

opinions that they can locate within the text that we read. They
