One man, in his time, plays many parts

All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players.
They have their exits and their entrances
And one man in his time plays many parts.

It's Shakespeare's birthday today!  So memorize your speech, grade 8's -- make sure you get it word perfect, because it doesn't sound right if you add or take away any words.

In your mimes, be specific.  Notice how you actually do things and try to copy them when you do a mime.

Journal topics:

Grade 8's:  What should Ms. Kosar know about you?  Have you any experience in theatre?  In performing?  Do you have stage fright?  Have you taken speech (elocution) lessons?  Do you work well in groups?  Do you have an interesting hobby?  Whatever you would like to share is of interest to me!

Grade 9's and 10's:  What is the social issue you plan to explore in your scenes?  What are you going to say about it?  Why is it an important issue?

Theatre Production:  What props do we need for Twelfth Night?  (Make a list.)  Can you think of how we might acquire those props?  Do you have access to anything that might help?  How do you think theatre companies (who never have enough money) acquire props and costumes?  As you know, we are going with a bohemian chic style for the costumes.  Look in the prop room and see if you can find anything that would be suitable.
