Be sure to bring in your signed field trip forms and pay online or in class for our trip to Tarragon Theatre. This trip costs $25 and includes the price of the workshop and performance. The trip is on November 16; however, forms and money are due by Friday, Oct 7th.
In October we begin to work on CLASSics that will be performed Thursday, Dec 15th. In the new year, we will be partnering with Tarragon to create short Environmental and Immersive Theatre presentations that will be performed at Tarragon Theatre for the public at night. We write a One Act Play for Sears 2018 in February and March. April is our final summative - 10 minute Readers' Theatre of a portion of our One Act play or a Monthy Measure work. |
HomeworkMonthly Measures are tasks that will be assigned and collected, generally speaking, on the first Friday of every month. They are fun and open ended writing tasks that will get your creative juices flowing.
