Grade 8's: Firstly, I want to remind you that I won't expect your show and tell speeches immediately after we return from spring break. I just want you to start thinking about what you might like to talk about. That is your journal topic for this week. What might you bring from home that would make a good speech? It can be something that has personal significance to you (I brought my grandmother's copy of "The Complete Works of William Shakespeare" which she won for being the "best lady skater in Lang, Saskatchewan in 1910!) It might be some award you've won or something you made of which you are proud. It might be a souvenir of a trip you've taken. Remember, I just want it to be something that you can share with the class and that can generate two minutes of interesting talk. Describe something that you think you might show the class and tell why it would be a good subject about which to talk.
Drama 9/10:
What is the funniest movie you've ever seen? Give the title. What made the movie funny? Say at least three things that made you laugh. Who performed in the movie? What did they do to be funny? Try to write it as if you were reviewing it for the newspaper. Give your review a catchy title!
Theatre Production:
In "Twelfth Night", several characters are partly defined by their costumes. Malvolio is one. At the beginning of the play, he is strict and severe and disapproving of the other members of Olivia's household. But after he receives the note he thinks is from Olivia, he changes his clothes. Draw two sketches -- one of Malvolio before the note and one after. Don't worry about sticking to the bohemian chic style, if you don't want to.
There is a saying, "clothes make the man". What do you think of that saying? Back up what you say with an example.
