The purpose of teacher blogs is to inform students and their families of day-to-day learning and activities throughout the school year.  We will continue to communicate learning opportunities and will provide links to online learning resources through these blogs. 

Please see this link for access to my daily slides: "What are we doing in Drama today?"

Grade 6 Drama did a great job with their readers' theatre projects, and now we are well into our second major project which is a storytelling unit. Students will have the opportunity to share their original stories with their classmates in a sharing circle.

Grade 6 Drama students have done an awesome job with getting familiar with the open studio, as well as getting to know each other.  Grade 6 performers have been supportive and kind to each other as they played movement, focus and observation-based games, and they participated enthusiastically in a variety of improv activities.

All this to answer the big question: how might the skills we learn in Drama, help us throughout our lives?

Next week, Drama 6 students begin their first choral speech project.
