Big Drama Presentation and Information

Our class has been working daily this week on or final drama preparations.  This includes completing the set and props, dress rehearsals on the stage in the gym, and feedback from me.  Some students are still struggling with their lines.  Make sure to practise them before Thursday.  Please note:  any student that does not have a costume will be losing marks on their evaluation.  We have discussed the fact (at length) that "getting into character"  includes changing your outward appearance to resemble each student's interpretation of their character.  Our final presentations for marks will happen on Thursday.  Watch for the rubric to come home next week, and for images on a blog post next week.
