Unit Plan’s of Awesome!
Mark: Movement
Great because it’s broken down into mini-units and get a wide variety of different movement disciplines; Final --> good idea to let em choose their final.

Christine: Dance
Final based on culmination of all things taught --> have to come up with their own choreographed dance. Fruit basket but with dance stuff… very cool.

Taryn: Directing
Cool to include monologue written by a student but directed by another student; portfolio gooood idea.

Alexa: Readers Theatre
Based around themes, cool yo! Final presentation idea’s grrrrrreat especially if you can go and perform these to an elementary .

Angela: Puppetry
Students being puppets themselves uber sweet! Skit based on St. Paddy’s day, good call! Shadow puppets, tre cool! Final project --> make your own puppet! Then create a performance for the class… awesome-sauce.

Chantel: Improv 7
Planned improve; “Survivor Lethbridge” really cool idea.

Hand puppets in particular; talk show interview very cool. Making em use a different voice, good call. Wetland/ecosystem tie-in a phenomenal idea!

Courtney: Speech
Radio show… sweet! Great for students not uber hardcore in front of an audience; like that there is peer eval AND self eval. Also very cool in our T.V./Internet age.

Michelle: Improv
Main focus on characterization; good to stress the importance of taking risks. Creating their own monologue good. Daily journal, good call.

Kate: TYA
Creating a piece to perform for other schools is soooo killer. Stressing difference between TYA audience and “regular” audience uber important. Looooove TYA, love the unit, good call on three draft writing process.

Jayme: Reader’s theatre
Research project on warm-ups cool idea; especially having students lead each day at beginning of class.

Bailey: Theatre sports
Character/story. Developing games they can play for theatre sports competition. Cool to make it cooperative and NOT competitive.
