All the World's a Stage!

In English Language Arts, 6F2 has been exploring William Shakespeare's comedic play Twelfth Night!

First we read the storybook version to become familiar with the complicated plot and the many, many characters. 
Next we read through the script of our adaptation of Twelfth Night.
On Monday, June 4th, students will audition by reading a passage from the script. 
Parts will then be assigned, and play rehearsals will begin! 
We hope to be able to present our play to other classes at the end of the month.

Party Time!

Thanks to the Party Committee for a super fun Harry Potter party!
Students participated in a Harry Potter Quiz game, Harry Potter Amazing Race and ate some yummy snacks!

Speechtastic!

Our next Speechtastic is an Entertaining Speech.

Students are to prepare a 2-5 minute speech. It could be a humorous story, a scary story or a dramatic story.
Students: Remember that an entertaining speech is most effective when the topic is personal and you enjoy yourself. Try to keep it simple and tell your story like a roller coaster!

Presentations are Wednesday, May 30th and Thursday, May 31st.
