Truth and consequences

Journals for this week!

Grade 8's:  How would you rate yourself on your ability to work in a group?  (from 1 - 4, with 1 being not very good and 4 being excellent)  Explain why you rate yourself the way you do.  What is one good thing about your group work skills?  How can you improve?  Write about an experience you had working in a group and explain what that experience taught you.  (It doesn't have to be an experience in Drama.)

Grade 9/10's and Theatre Production 11:  Which heritage performance was the best in your opinion?  Why do you choose that one?  Write three things (at least) that you liked about it and two ways in which it could improve.  Which actor was the best in the class?  Explain why.  Which scene had the best production?  (Lighting, sound, costumes, props, etc.)  Explain why.

Senior Drama:
Characters (and regular people) need motivation to do the things they do.  In the plays you are working on now, what motivates the character you are playing (or, in the case of the directors, write about one of the characters)?  Think about real people -- what motivates them?  Choose three people -- they can be famous or people you know -- and write about what motivates them.  When you make yourself do something unpleasant, what motivates you?

Don't forget that "High School Confidential" is running on Friday and Monday at 7 p.m. each evening.  And D Block -- you will be attending the play on Tuesday at 1 p.m. (don't be late, it's rude).  Make sure you bring your $5 a.s.a.p.
