During most of march we will be primarliy be working on the modern version of a classic play. The students have broken into groups and are working on theme, characters and dialogue. This has been a bit harden then they expected. The guides I have given them include seeing segments of westside story and we read through a short play called the liscence which is part of a book "Center Stage" written primarily for teens. The process for creating their own play has been explained and I have provided examples of what I expect. Any student with additional questions is welcome to come see me at anytime.
****Students keep in mind that the plays should be completed by Friday 3/29/08. Your group should be able to do a walk through and be ready for a full performance starting Monday and Tuesday.ss media.
The next assignment will be an informational speech. By this I mean you will have to find our how something is done and explain it to the class in a presentation format. example The origins of radio and television.i.e. the precurser to mass media.
