Time Waits for NO MAN (or woman)

Some of you have not handed in last week's journals and now, THIS WEEK's is upon us.  Don't let time get away from you.  Make sure you hand in your journal each week, or you will have a big disappointment on your report card.

Grade 8's, you won't have a journal this week, because you are away at camp.  I hope you're having a great time and learning a lot about how to get along in high school.  You should be practicing the Shakespeare passage, because we'll be working on that when you get back.

Grade 9's:  Practice "speak the speech" so you'll be able to recite it without help from me.

Journal #2:  In one sentence, tell the story of your mime.  Have you embellished the original idea to make it more dramatic?  What is the conflict in your story?  (You need conflict in a drama.)  What have you done to improve the original mime?

Make sure you answer all the questions.

Grade 10's:  Practice the speech from Henry V.  You'll be reciting it soon.

Journal #2:  In your mimes, what happened last summer?  What conflict are you exploring?  What was good about your mime performance?  What needed improvement? 

Remember, in mime, you need to be very clear in your actions and take your time.  Otherwise, the audience won't understand your story.
