One More Day to be Ready

This morning, we ran through the general introduction of exhibition. Students used the remainder of morning class time to work on areas that needed attention. At noon we had another run through of the general introduction. Many students need to work on their gestures and enthusiasm for this component. Students then learned which room they will be presenting in. They broke out into their groups and rehearsed their oral components. Some groups discovered that they were over the allowed time. They need to reduce their presentation to a maximum of 15 minutes. Some students had difficulty playing their videos. They are to ensure that all videos are played from their device and not the internet. Many were too dependent on their cue cards. The cue cards are for students to refer to if they forget their lines, not for them to read from continuously. They need to make eye-contact with the audience when speaking.

At the end of the day, students made their second last journal entry.

We then cleaned up our classroom as we will be working out of the antechamber and adjoining classrooms all day tomorrow and Friday.

Finally, at the very end of the day, we worked on our Wizard of Performance for a few minutes.

Students should bring in refreshments for exhibition.

Everyone is required to be in full uniform tomorrow and Friday. Please arrive at 8:30 on Thursday and at 8:00 on Friday to set up the antechamber and adjoining rooms.
