ALL GRADES: JK A - GR. 8
YOUR CHILD IS NOT GOING TO BE ON STAGE FOR THE UPCOMING PRODUCTION - Do You Know Why?
Please read the previous blog!
GRADES 4,5,6,7, AND 8
AUDITIONS FOR TWELFTH NIGHT: Audition notices were posted on the bulletin board at school two weeks ago. The necessary information is also on this blog. Today's date for the auditions was written clearly, as were the instructions. The auditions were discussed for two and a half classes at school. Anyone who has missed them, or has not prepared for them, only has him or herself to blame.
* Remember, the audition will affect your role; you must have a role; and your drama mark depends on how well you fulfill your role - NOT on what type of role you have.
GRADES 4,5,6,7, AND 8
FIELD TRIP TO STRATFORD: This trip is an obligatory part of the school curriculum. Students expected to attend the field trip are doing so in order to -
A) better understand Shakespeare and his works
B) see and hear one of Shakespeare's works performed (it's better for you to see the same work which we will be performing as this will heighten your awareness about it)
C) experience a theatre environment; be able to sit there for 2 hours quietly and focus on what is happening in front of them; to develop an appreciation for theatre
D) gain cultural development and appreciation in a state-of-the art environment
E) develop an understanding that theatre is about team work; that all actors, their parts, and everyone involved is important and depended upon.
Those students not attending the trip MUST have their parents speak with me, their teachers, or Mr. Sawatsky. You will be expected to make-up for missing this experience.
Students in Grades 4 and 5 will not receive a script until they have passed a test determining their comprehension about the plot in Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. Test date will be the Wednesday following Thanksgiving!
More postings about this week's classroom activities will follow shortly.
Best Regards,
Mrs. Deras
