Brrr!

Did you see the snow falling?  As I left school today, there was snow in the air.  There was snow in New Westminster as well, but here it's just raining.  I wonder what it will be like tomorrow morning.

Here are your journals for the week:

Grade 8's:  What have you chosen to speak about for "show and tell" next week?  Why did you choose it?  What are you thinking of saying?  (Just give me an idea, not the whole speech.)

Remember!  You will be presenting your 2 minute speeches on November 8 and 9.  (I strongly suggest you practice in front of someone you trust.  Ask them to time you and tell you honestly if they can hear you clearly.)  You will be presenting your Aesop plays on November 6 and 7 -- make sure you know your lines.  In order to memorize lines, remember you need to say them OUT LOUD!

Grade 9/10; Theatre Production 11:

Write about the experience of creating "Chiller Horror Theatre".  What was the audience response?  Did it surprise you?  How did your performance develop as you gained experience with different audience responses?  What went well?  What would you change about the project?

Senior Drama:  Lin-Manuel Miranda has said, "my only responsibility as a playwright or a storyteller is to give you the time of your life in the theatre".  What do you think of that?  What do you think the responsibility of a playwright, director or actor is?  Bertolt Brecht thought theatre artists should use drama to make people grapple with social issues.  What do you think?
