If you want to bring your students out of the four walls of the classroom without actually bringing them outside, then let them act. They may act like they will not do it because they are not used to that kind of set up but then, they basically do not have any choice. So, just let them see that this will be good for them.
First, you must pick the theme of the stories for the plays. Yes, you will only be requiring short plays for the classroom but then, they need to have a structure to follow. If not, then your students will not take their roles seriously and that can lead them to further disrespect the authority that you have as a teacher.
Second, if you are following a certain timeline, then you will have to shorten the plot that you will be giving out to everybody. Now, if you want to bring out their competitive side, then you can hand out the same piece and allow them to interpret it their own way. If not, then you are free to follow your own style.
Third, you would have to guide these kids. If they have never done this before, then you have to be there to help them memorize their lines. You would also have to show to them that it is okay to perform mistakes. They are only humans and their mistakes are their stepping stones to becoming better individuals.
You must be lenient with the practice period. Be reminded that you have grouped students with different personalities. If you will not offer them the time to adjust one to one another, then they will never get to see the same terms. So, promote teamwork to the best of your abilities for these kids to be grateful to you later on.
If they will ask permission to change some of their lines, then provide them with that kind of privilege. Take note that you are not running a training camp in here. If you will bring your strictness to a whole new level, then that can actually be bad for the harmony that you are trying to impose.
You have to promote comprehension no matter what happens. Take note that you are not killing time in here. There is a lesson that has to be learned and that is what should be evident in all of your sessions.
If you already need to evaluate your students, then be kind in the least. Realize that you have asked them to tackle a great challenge. If you will not open your eyes to their efforts, then you will only be discouraging them to perform any better and that is not right.
Overall, you should practice patience in here. Your students may not get everything in the first round but then, you will have to provide them with chances. If not, then you are not an educator at all.
