2nd QUARTER

November 23 & 24
We will be presenting our powerpoint presentations about our assigned Shakespearean play for our two day week this week because when we return we need to begin our tryouts & start practicing our Shakespearean one-act.

November 16 - 19
This week we are working on understanding the story of various Shakespearean plays. Students have been divided into groups & will each randomly receive a play. They will put together a powerpoint visually depicting the story, find scenes from the play to show to the class, & mark scene ideas in the actual script. Students will present their play to the class next week.

November 9-13
Students have selected a movie monologue & have a day in class to work on memorization. This week we will be working on characterization. Students will begin performing Wednesday, November 11th. Failure to perform on the day it is due will result in a zero - THERE IS NO MAKEUP WORK IN ADVANCED DRAMA.

November 2-6
This week we are finishing up our Music Man assignment & beginning work on our Movie Monologue. Each student must put together a 1 1/2 - 2 min. monologue from a movie. While it can be comedic or dramatic it must be school appropriate. A rubric & examples will be given in class.
