Students will use ToonDoo to show their knowledge for objective, obstacles,
and tactics. By using an online visual format prior to having students
perform monologues, students can build upon previous knowledge and have
a reference point where they connect their understanding. After using
TonDoo students will pick out monologues to work on and perform, therefor
the activities will link together to understand just how objective, obstacle,
and tactic are important for a character.
