Creating a World: February 16, 2018

Focus: How do we set up our Acting Companies to make sure we work happily and efficiently together?

1. Warming up with Empathy Monologue writing exercises: Creating a World

2. Working with your acting companies to prepare your scene for Reader's Theater

• If needed, reread the plot summary of Fences
• Work on your symbolic choice.
• Create Google slides that pose a Level 2 or 3 question and help us think deeply about your scene.
• Rehearse, rehearse, rehearse until you get the rhythm of the scene. You should know how to pronounce the words, when to pause, when to shout, whisper, etc.
• Stage your scene. Avoid the pitfall of everybody standing awkwardly in a row.
• Complete your Project Work Log.

3. Wrapping up with your project work logs and goal-setting for the weekend: What needs to get done before Tuesday so that you're ready to present on Wednesday?

HW:
1. For Tuesday: Spend 20 more minutes with today's writing exercise on Creating a World (feel free to click on different slides until you find one that unlocks a story).

2. For every day: BRING STICKY NOTES!
