Adv Drama_p6 Assignments

Hey gang,

Start practicing your 1920s dancing for our upcoming "Twelfth Night" auditions.

P.S. Remember that you can't view youtube from a school computer...

Hey All,

Here are the documents as promised.

Prompt Script-
You can use the format for the documents I gave as examples to complete the paperwork. I hope it helps.

12th Night-
Remember to delete all but your scene before printing. If your group is planning on rewriting, try having each actor translate and retype their own character's words, and then sending the corrections to the director for the final script. I need you guys to have your finalized scripts BEFORE the Thanksgiving break, so you can use the time to memorize. Add the deadline to the group calendar.

Bye

Advanced Drama Computer Project: Part 1: Shakespeare Monologue

The link below will take you to Project Gutenberg. There you will search for a Shakespearean monologue. If your Lyrics Monologue was a funny/happy one, pick a dramatic/serious Shakespearean Monologue. (Hint: his tragedies and histories are serious, and his comedies and sonnets are funny or romantic). When you've selected one, click on the Shakespearean Monologue Blank Document below, and copy/paste it into the left column of the word document.

YOUR READING ASSIGNMENT FOR SHAKESPEAREAN DRAMA:

http://www.theatrehistory.com/british/bellinger001.html http://www.theatrehistory.com/british/restoration_drama_001.html and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_shakespeare

TASK
1. List 5 theatrical vocabulary words that you didn't know before you read the articles. Define and add them to your vocabulary section.

2. Write sentences describing 3 things you learned (or misconceptions you changed) about Shakespeare, and put them into your History Notes section of you portfolio.

3. Visit the Shakespeare dictionary sites (http://www.acepilots.com/bard/ws_word.html or http://absoluteshakespeare.com/glossary/a.htm), and come to class ready to teach an Elizabethan word or phrase to the class. You must speak in an Elizabethan accent.

Now that you've found the directions, print out the Free Pass (Ex Cr.doc), sign your name in ink, and bring it to class with your syllabus and detached portion. Limit one Free Pass per student each semester. The Free Pass is non transferable, and has no cash value. Enjoy!

1. Get your parent to read the syllabus along with you
2. Make sure that they complete the following sections:
*parent/student contract
*emergency contact information
*audio/video sections
3. Detach those sections by cutting on the dashed line
4. Bring BOTH sections to class by Monday in order to get your Free Pass signed

Sorry for forgetting. This is the other "parent homework" that I needed to hand out, but only College Writing has it so far. I will extend the due date for this to Wednesday. Remember, This is for your parent to do, but it's still your grade.
