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 must play as the guide of your students. If they have never been good in memorizing things, then you must teach them the technique that you have been using all these years. If you will impart your knowledge to the future of the world, then you can say to yourself that you have not been so lazy in your work.
You need to give them time to practice their parts. Keep in mind that you are in full control of what is bound to happen in your classes. If you would be so strict in here, then you can never expect to see a good performance from the students. They would live in fear that they would not be able to make you happy.
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.
