On Thursday we ventured to Holy Names High School to view the dramatic performance of "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown!" To activate prior knowledge and/or provide schema for our class, we viewed a timeline outlining the history of the Peanuts comic strip and some information about its creator: Charles Schultz, I provided some background information about the play that was first performed in 1967, and we viewed some daily comics. It was helpful for the students to know names and appearances of the main characters. The class asked that I put a link to the website where the daily Peanuts comic strip can be found. Click here if you would like to enjoy some of Schultz's work.
The cast, crew, and pit band at HNHS did a fine job. Here they are in their curtain call.
Upon returning home, we collaboratively completed a drama critique using drama vocabulary. Finally we created success criteria so that we can do a similar task in the future for evaluation.
Please try to wear Canada gear on Monday to celebrate the success of Canada's Olympic team!
