    This document provides the lesson plan for a drama class focusing on risk through individual creative practices. The objective is for students to engage in solo practices that involve witnessing and being witnessed by others. The lesson introduces two practices - a walking meditation where students move and write reflections, and a partner exercise where one student speaks non-stop while their partner listens. The goal is for students to experience risk through these solo creative exercises and reflect on taking risks in their exit slips.
