Quick update as to what students may want to work on over the weekend.
DEBATE I
We have just finished up our first ever affirmative policy case! I am very excited about what the students created (as a class), and I am even more excited about what we'll get to do next! Over the weekend, students should continue evaluating their peers' cases from the other two hours. They were given an evaluation sheet to use for this activity, as well as a copy of the other two classes' cases. These evaluations are due on Monday. Next week, we will be looking at these cases from the negative perspective of the debate.
DEBATE II
Students have officially declared their second competitive event and have been working diligently to gather research, scripts, and ideas. This is in conjunction with them continuing their work on the first competitive event, including an in-class rough presentation on what they have gathered and organized to date. On Friday, we discussed the grading rubric that will be used for the monthly reading response essays, and extra time was given for students to ensure that they were following the guidelines on the rubric. Their first monthly reading response is now due on Monday, 9/17.
DRAMA
Students have been working on memorizing and dialoguing their chosen script for interpretation. They started the week by presenting a rough version of the performance to the class, and have been working on developing character roles, the plot, and expressing the conflict for the rest of the week. Next week, students will take a look at their completed analysis of the script and beging blocking actions.
