Schedule Update!
Upon further reflection, I'm going to give you all an extra week on the monologue project:
September 9: Memorize!
Have your monologue basically memorized. This is on the "honor system" -- I won't ask you to quote it to me. (But I might have you partner up in class and run through your monologue...)
September 15: Workshop Day
I'll switch some stuff around to devote 2 periods to this...
Come prepared to perform your monologue to the best of your ability. You'll receive critiques from me and your classmates (verbal and written) which you should heed.
September 29, 30: Performance
I'll split the performances over two days so that the audience isn't worn out. (16 monologues = too many to listen to at one time!!)
The following week you'll evaluate your performance ... which will have been videotaped.
tum da tum tum tum!
(Yeah, I know. I'd rather eat pig livers than watch myself on videotape. But it's good for you and me to see ourselves as we are, not as we think we look/sound/act.)

Yikes! I had no idea our monologues should be memorized so soon! BTW,I passionately dislike watching myself on tape. Rebekah :)
..so is it sooner? or later? ...
Later.
Originally, the performance was the 22nd/23rd. Now it's a week later.
Full memorization has to happen by next week (the 15th) for sure -- because that's the day you'll perform it for critiques. My only grade on that day will be "is it memorized and has the student been working on it"?
Performance grades are the 29th and 30th.
Hope that clarifies.
THANK YOU! truly there is a GOD in heaven! even thou i hate to watch my self on tape i think that is a great idea and i will work all the harder b/c of it.
Watching videos of myself makes me shudder (pass the pig livers!), but I agree with Ryan, it will be really good for us, because we'll be able to see ourselves more objectively. Just wondering...who is this "audience" going to be? The class? The whole school? All of our extended families and their pets? (We can fit 96 sheep into the room, right? They can double as seats!)
wow. I like the sheep. That's awesome!
... working on the audience question
