Friday January 15, 2010


Chapter 8 vocabulary handout today. (Yes, we have skipped 7, but shall go back to it!) This is due Friday January 22. That's our last day of classes this term.

NEW ITEM: In class you will be picking up a copy of Edgar Lee Master's Spoon River Anthology. Please browse through the poems and select one you would like to memorize. Post your selection on the blog. There are to be no duplicates; so first come, first choice. Next Friday, you will perform the poem. I will give you a rubric next week. In addition, please find a prop to accompany your selection. AGAIN: YOU MUST POST YOUR CHOICE; NO DUPLICATES

For Tuesday, make sure you have read Jacob Riis' How the Other Half Lives. There will be a short writing response in the lab on Wednesday

  15. Bonita,
    When one performs a character, the performer's identity is subsumed. Many of our finest actors are painfully shy individuals; the characters they take on provide a mask. As well, only when we step beyond ourselves do we grow. It's very comforting to stay in the familiar, but so much more satisfying to stretch. Trust me when I say you'll be fine. Your class is an environment where everyone is supportive of each other. Everyone will be successful with this. I promise.
