Warm up activities began our
classes once again. The students are practicing presentation and strong
vocal techniques (e.g. projection and articulation). The main lesson for
the Pathfinders was rehearsing the dramatic interpretation of a poem on the
Erie Canal. The Navigators worked on creative thinking and improvisation.
They were given props that were to be used in any way but the way they
were meant to be used. Then the students were given parameters for scenes
in which they had to come up with content and dialogue. The activities
are preparing the students to think outside the box for future assignments.
In the weeks to come, the students will be creating scenes of specific
historic events to bring those time periods to life.
