We'll begin the Multigenre Project today. I want to show you some of the kinds of writing you can do.

May 17

Today we begin the next part of the course. We will spend most of our time the rest of the way in the lab.

Today we'll work on "The Wedding". By the time you leave today I'll expect you to hand in:
A Guest List with at least 10 guests
A Menu
A long paragraph telling what each table would talk about
A description of the ceremony

If time we'll talk about the acting you will be doing.

May 12

We'll spend most of the period watching the film today but I may stop the movie occasionally to point out important points.

May 11

SSR + a drawing/writing exercise called CHARACTERS.

May 10

Here's today's warmup:
Save as LastNameFirstInitialFIGHT

In 100 or more words tell me a story about a time when two people were arguing. They were about to fight it out when a third person tried to stop the fight. It could be real situation that you witnessed or took part in. Or it could be a story you make up.
Did the fight happen? or was it stopped? Did anyone get hurt--physically or emotionally? Where did this all take place? When? Why did the people want to fight? Was there any lesson learned because of what happened--or didn't happen?


Next we'll act out a bit of the play, then see that part in the movie.

May 5

We'll do a worksheet, then watch the film.

May 4

SSR + watch more of the film
