Happy New Year!

I hope everyone had a restful break! As we dig into our more indepth activities this spring, I hope you will ask your students what they are working on in theatre class! The 6th graders are beginning work on scenes: short portions of plays with partners. They will be responsible for memorizing their lines, planning costumes, props and other scenic pieces they might need to perform the scene. These will be in class performances and as we get closer to the "performance date" I'll post dates and times in case you'd like to come watch...that's between you and your student though:).
I have one more week with this group of 5th graders and we are finishing up our time together wtih a digital storytelling lesson. They will have to tell a story on film using no words, a door and 5 feet of space. They will learn to communicate a story: beginning, middle and end, using only camera angles and non-verbal communication!
As always, if you have questions or would just like to come observe what your students are doing in theatre, please feel free to contact me and come on in!!!
