Lesson for May 22 - "We are made wise not by the recollection of our past, but by the responsibility for our future."

The playwright, George Bernard Shaw, said that.  Question of the Day:  What does he mean?  Are you a responsible person? Think about why or why not?

Warm-up:  Drama 9/10, Theatre Production 11:  Remember when we were talking about interesting set changes?  I watched "Barbershop Chronicles" last week (presented by the National Theatre of Great Britain).  I loved it.  One of the many things I loved was how they switched from one barbershop to another (the play went from Lagos in Nigeria to Johannesburg in South Africa and Accra in Ghana and to London, England).  Here is a video about how they did the scene changes.

Art 8:  Make a map of a place with which you are familiar.  Label it.  (This could give you an idea for your "Something Happened" drawing.)

Lesson:
Drama 9/10:  Your 3rd heritage story was due yesterday.  If you did not manage to contact your group, you need to come up with a presentation of a story yourself.  If your group has not submitted your presentation, you must do so!  As you all know, I am flexible about due dates, but you need to have a plan and put your performance together.
Practice the monologue you have chosen to do.  Actors like to make a dramatic entrance, know where the scene is taking place and to whom they are speaking.  You need to decide who your character is -- imagine how old the character is, would he or she have an accent or a certain way of thinking?  What would the character wear?  These are all things that can help you create a believable person on stage.

Theatre Production 11:  Prepare to present your prop to the class tomorrow and explain what play it is from, what you started with and how you transformed it into the prop.  You should also be working on your Theatre History project.

Art 8:  Work on "Something Happened".  Remember to include line, value and texture in your drawing!

B Block:  Your Zoom meeting is tomorrow at 12:30.  This is your regular time for your Zoom meetings, because this is when we would be meeting if we were at school.  Everyone should be prepared to share their five item story (the warm-up from two days ago).  I will ask random people to share their stories!  Rachel will ask the question of the day.

Be sure to talk to your family about whether you will be coming to school in June.  The school has sent out the survey asking if you are planning to come -- they need to know because that will affect their planning for welcoming students back to school.  We will also continue with online learning, so make sure you keep up with your work!
