Practical assessment rehearsal Last week you started working on your practical assessment performance. By now you should have chosen a picture, decided on a plot that has all the elements of good drama, created solid characters and looked at what elements of physical theater you are going to incorporate to help express you story.

Today please continue rehearsing. Looking specifically at each individual scene and ensuring that the message will be clear to the audience. You can also start talking about props, costumes and any music you want to include.

I will see your work tomorrow.

As you all shared yesterday you have not yet finished your iBooks- now you have the chance! Please use this lesson to get your iBook up to date including your process journal entries.

Everything you need to include in the iBook is written below. Use you time wisely- this is due next lesson.

Enjoy your time with the Artist in residence you are very lucky to have this experience. I look forward to hearing all about it!

Drama Cover Work
Practical Task- Choreographed movement
 * 1) Create groups of 5-6 people (6 groups in total in the class)
 * 2) Imagine that you are at a fun fair. Create a scene showing yourselves on rides, playing games, eating etc.
 * 3) Using Mime with choreographed movement you will create a physical theatre performance of a day at the fair. 15 minutes to prepare and rehearse.
 * Peer Viewing and Advice**


 * 1) Team up with another group.
 * 2) Each group must perform their piece to another group and get feedback on how they can improve.
 * 3) Your peers can give you advice about how to make it more interesting and entertaining.
 * 4) Improve your piece and then film the final performance. Use an iPhone or your computer to film.

After you have finished your practical task and filming your performance please complete the following:


 * 1) Start your drama process journal by creating an iBook.
 * 2) Decorate your iBook cover (be creative), add your name, my name (Mrs Malcomess), class name and Drama
 * 3) Research Mime and Physical Theatre. Write your own definition of these two techniques based on your research.
 * 4) Add in a video for each from youtube - ensure that the video you choose helps to define these two drama disciplines.
 * 5) Process journal entry for this week- Drop your filmed performance into your iBook. Write about your performance: What went well? What you think can be improved? How did your group successfully use mime to tell your story? What did you enjoy? What did you struggle with?
