New Semester

Tomorrow marks the beginning of the second semester, and I have a brand new exploratory drama class to work with for 9 weeks.

My plan is to review the process I have been developing in the first semester. I am going to zero in on process that involves physical actions and voice training. I will be trying to keep it do-able in a regular classroom setting and flexible enough to fit within any academic subject area.

I will assess the new group by recording them reading from a text -- solo and as a group before beginning any theatre work with them.

At the end of the nine weeks, I will repeat the recording process to assess for individual and collaborative speaking improvement. In addition, I will be asking the class's homeroom teacher to make note of any improvements she observes within her classroom.

I plan to blog my daily lessons here over the course of this class.
