Happy birthday, Bill! (You don't look a day over 445!)
Because I will be missing both Monday and Tuesday, here is basically what is what for those two days:
Jrs: We will finish the movie and spend some small group time discussing how its interpretation differs from the text. Each group will turn in a bullet point list. After this, you'll be able to use time on ESC papers.
Sophs: RW/WW both days. If you are turning portfolios in on Monday, be sure that the sub records your name.
Drama: More complicated, so I'll just write it all here:
On Monday, students should be prepared to run through the first 14 pages of Bang Bang You’re Dead. Their task was to be able to get through the first “chorus” section and the “buck” scene without relying on their scripts, though they will be carrying them.
When they finish reading through this section, have them do it a second time. Should there still be time, have them continue reading through the rest of the play. James is Super-Sub; he reads parts for missing actors.
On Tuesday, students should break into two groups:
- The “improvised musical” group
- The “library moebius” group
Each group should begin working on its project for a major library improvisation. Note to the class: due to the innate imbalance of these projects, the moebius group will likely play some role in assisting the musical group, though it will not involve singing. (It might involve “ooos” or “lalas” or dancing or some other background aspect, though.) Members of each group will assist the other also by filming.
Assignments over five-day break:
- Memorize Bang Bang 1-14
- Honors memorize at least 4 plays
- Get together to work on library improvs for early May performances
