First journals of 2015

It's journal day!  I know you all look forward to this day and so here are your journals!  Keep writing them.  It isn't onerous and it's a chance to think about what we're doing in a broader context!  Free speech rules!

Senior Drama:  Give your thoughts on the discussion we had in class about free speech and censorship.  Do you think there should be any limits on free speech?  Is it okay to say anything?  Should Sony have defied the threats and released "The Interview" freely?  Should schools be able to censor books like The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn?  Write about whatever issues in this subject that interest you.

Drama 9/10:  Why did you choose the theme you did?  What do you intend to do with it?

Drama 8:  How do you think the world was created?  Could you make a play out of it?  Explain how.

Everyone:  Have you made any New Year's resolutions?  Can you think of any ways in which you could improve at school?  If you can, perhaps you can resolve to take action and see where your resolution takes you.  It isn't very useful to say that you resolve to "do better in school".  How do you plan to improve?  What piece of the puzzle are you missing?
