Act it Out


[warmup]
Yesterday we started learning about the birth of Western drama. Next week (Monday for core 3, Tuesday for core 4) we'll be acting out our brief version of a Greek tragedy or Greek comedic-tragedy. If you misplaced the link to the assignment its on my website or you can just click here. For your warmup today answer the following questions:
1) Write a synopsis (what is going to happen in your play) in 50-100 words. The paragraph above is 61 words long.
2) What is your role for the play?
3) What do you personally need to do so you'll be ready to perform next week?


If you missed class yesterday take this time to first do the warmup from yesterday. Then read the assignment and start brainstorming what you could do for it.

  10. 1) Write a synopsis (what is going to happen in your play) in 50-100 words. The paragraph above is 61 words long.

    In our play, a huntress (Yesenia) is going to kill a deer. Then she is going to go back to her village and everyone is going to cherish her. Everyone is happy and cheery but then Artemis (Me) shows up and is mad. Artemis' sacred animal is the deer so she is mad that the huntress killed one. So Artemis and the huntress fight and the huntress dies. THE END!

    2) What is your role for the play?

    I play the goddess Artemis and the villagers.

    3) What do you personally need to do so you'll be ready to perform next week?

    We need to record our skit still and edit it.

  12. We haven't decided exactly what we're going to do yet but Robin and I are pretty sure we're going to do a scene in a elevator. I'm not sure what role I'm going to play yet because we need to make a script and brainstorm what could happen while we're in it.

  16. efrain isacc what i thought about augsburg it was a ok school but its not for me one thing i did like about augsburg is that it is close to the city

    ryan: Augsburg isn't a bad college, but it's more expensive than some other colleges i'd like to go to. I don't want to go to college on a small campus and i don't want to go to a college that is so close to my house.
