Writing ourselves out

Journal Day!  (Yay, yay!)

Grade 8 Drama:  What should Ms. Kosar know about you?  You might want to include descriptions of your experience (if any) in theatre -- did your elementary school do any drama?  Have you been in a play?  Have you ever performed in front of a crowd (in music, in sports, in dance)?  Have you ever made a speech in front of an audience?  Do you have stage fright?  (Lots of people, even professional actors, do.)  How does that feel?  What do you think of Drama so far?  Just write about things that you think Ms. Kosar should know in order to teach you!

Drama 9/10: Watch someone performing a current events spoof.  (I would suggest Melissa McCarthy's star turn as Sean Spicer on Saturday Night Live, as a great one, or for a Canadian angle, Mary Walsh as Marg Delahunty on "This Hour Has 22 Minutes" or Gavin Crawford playing "Mark Jackson".)  You can access these on You Tube, or you can watch Saturday Night Live (which is doing some great spoofing of the White House these days) on Saturday at 11:30 p.m on NBC or "This Hour Has 22 Minutes on Tuesdays at 8:30 p.m. on CBC.  Say who and what you watched and describe the lazzis the actor uses.

Theatre Production:  Watch someone performing a current events spoof.  (See above.)  Describe what the person wears, the set that they use, and how effective the spoof is.
