One more day until our field trip to see Metaphysical Theatre perform commedia dell'arte on the stage at ODCVI! I'm really looking forward to it.
ADA 1O
Mini-Research assignment on Theatre History.
Everyone worked with their partners / groups to research their topics. Friday will also be a research day, but we will work in room 114. A few people will work upstairs in room 214 with Mr. Hill. A big thank you to Holly for her help:). Also, thanks to Ayla for showing Mikaela, Ali and August how to use Prezi.
You will finalize your presentations on Monday, and do the actual presentations on Tuesday in the library, using the SmartBoard. I know they will be great!
ADA 2O
Comedy Sit-Com Assignment.
Today people finalized their character descriptions and got into groups for writing. Tomorrow and Friday, people will brainstorm their plots and subplots, putting ideas into Storyboard format, which are due at the end of class on Friday.
Next week, script writing will happen, with groups working together to include:
* at least two different types of comedy
* a plot and at least one subplot
* some jokes to spice up the dialogue
* perhaps a moral or important social idea that is taught through your performance.

Pygmalian
Yesterday's reading was amazing - Act II and III- with several readers using fairly believeable British accents:
Dylan as "Higgins"
Carlie as "Mrs. Higgins" P. Higgins' mother
Courtney as "Mrs. Eynsford Hill" / Clara and Freddie's mother
Brian as "Doolittle"
Holly as "Eliza Doolittle" daughter of Doolittle
Beth as "Mrs. Pearce"
Emma as "Miss Eynsford Hill " / "Clara" - Freddie's sister
Nick as "Colonel Pickering"
Oliver as "Nepommuck" or " the other professor of phonetics
We will continue with the first reading of Pygmalian today, and try to finish it by Friday. Then we will decide if we want to stage this play, and how we will do it.
