1-8-20 1st Period

by: Lizzy

Today, we took notes on the songs from The Lion King.  We learned about several new vocabulary words:  polyphony, polyrhythm, cross-rhythm, call and response, repetition and improvisation.  We listened to "Grasslands Chant" from Lion King and tried to pick out examples of our vocabulary words.  Then, we listened to a less tribal song called "How the Other Half Lives" from Thoroughly Modern Millie and tried to pick out the same examples in this different style.

Back on the Map

My students have taken a break from blogging in the past 18 months because we've focused on adding other pieces of technology to our classroom routines.  I'd really like to get back to blogging in the second semester on a daily or a weekly basis.  I'm sure my students will hold my feet to the fire, so we'll be back on the map in 2020!

Taking the Stage-3rd Period

by:  Jack O.

In this unit of theatre 1, we started learning how to dance to the Black Light Show, we also learned about the different types of stages and the stage movements that you're supposed to do while preforming on that type of stage. One of the most interesting thing that we did this unit was learn how to choreograph the cup song. It was REALLY fun. I think Mrs. Bruno did a great job on teaching us the movements. I can't wait to see what the next unit has in store for us!

Week in Review (4th Period)

by:  Sara Kate


This week I learned so much about theatre. Everyday, we started off with the bell ringer. The bell ringers are questions about theatre that we answer in more than a couple sentences. Everyday, we learned a few vocabulary words that have something to do with theatre. Some of the words were explaining a type of play while others words had to do with the actors, the script and many more. To help us memorize the vocabulary words, we played matching games with cards with the words and definitions. Also, this week we played some fun games. The games we played helped us with eye contact, speaking up, creativity, teamwork, communication, and imagination. The games helped us with theatre and real life situations. One day, we learned about the history of theatre and how it came to be. We learned that theatre was around for at least 30,000 years ago! It was performed by priests as they told stories to their people. I learned so much this week and I had a blast in theatre!

Week in Review (3rd period)

by:  Natalie:


Today we started off with the bell ringer, which was explaining why we agree or disagree with the quote, "Theatre is life; life is theatre." Most of us agreed, because everything we do in life can somehow be put on a  stage,  even though it might be boring to some people.

Week in Review (1st Period)

by:  Hunter


This week has been very fun. First we learned about the history of theatre, then we learned different types of genres theatre, lastly we played some very fun games to teach us about drama.

 To start off the week we learned about the history of theatre. Nobody really knows where theatre originated from, but many believe it came from ancient ritual's and myths from ancient people.
