This document provides a character map for a teacher character in a performance. The character map details that the teacher is in her late 20s, enjoys flowers, coffee, and teaching, and dislikes naughty children. Her favorite student is described as a "geek boy." The character map also notes what the teacher wants, says about herself, and what others might say about her. It concludes by explaining how the character map information will influence the performer to play the teacher as more formal, smile at the favorite student, and portray an adult despite being younger.

Personal details
My character just wants to teach an
ordinary and normal behaved class but My character would say that she is a good
unfortunately this will never happen support teacher. Everyone in her class likes
with the students she has. Well maybe her as a teacher (but really they don’t except
in her dream but never in reality. this one geeky looser played by Abigail).
Character
What do they want? TEACHER What do they say about themselves?
What do other people say about them?
Other people might say that she can’t control her students and not
a good teacher. They also might think she is being favouritism as
she is obvious that her favourite students is the geek .
Acting decisions:
How will the information gathered on the map influence the way you play the character?
It would influence to play my character differently. I have to play as an adult when really I’m a younger
person which could be difficult. I have to be more formal which means I have to act, walk and even
dress differently. I have to smile at the geek to show the audience that the geek is my favourite student.
