A week in review...

This week we
1) performed the last scene of Act 1 of Julius Caesar and took a quiz.
2) performed our book commericials
3) journaled some "rants" about things that drive us up the wall in preparation for a persuasive paper after break.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Beware the Ides of March!

Today we
1) turned in our independent book posters and journals.
2) worked on acting/reading 1.2 of Julius Caesar.
3) went over a handout explaining how we'd be graded for each act of Caesar.

Yesterday we had time to rehearse and then we watched/discussed the beginning of 1.2.

On Monday, we'll be reading/discussing 1.3.

On Tuesday, we'll begin our book commercials.

Rehearsal

Today we journaled and then saw Act 1, Scene 1 of Julius Caesar. We discussed the events of it and then everyone had time to rehearse their own scenes.

Up on your feet!

Monday and today we did learned acting terms in class, including negative space, levels and leading centers, in preparation for studying Shakespeare.

Today we also signed up for parts in Julius Caesar -- and the homework is to read the parts so we're prepared to rehearse them tomorrow.

Ind. Book Plans

Today we journaled and then went over (in detail) the requirements for the independant book projects (posters and commercials). With our remaining time, we did some open-mic.

Begining Prince of Egypt

Today we journaled and Mrs. Gilbert checked off who had at least 5 book-journals done.

Then we began watching Prince of Egypt. On Thursday we'll be writing a time c/c essay on this movie and Antigone.
