5B Acting Workshops

Our acting workshop preparations are well under way. Today’s dress rehearsal was a success and gave the students an opportunity to self and peer assess each other’s drama skills. Receiving constructive feedback is a crucial part of the learning development process. One of the most informative learning points was the need to pronounce each word clearly and project our voices. We even had student photographers today. These Grade 5 students are awesome at taking the lead. There was a lot of fun and laughter watching each other perform. The students completely took the lead with this assignment and I am very impressed with their commitment and willingness to take risk. Suspending disbelief is a key ingredient to dramatic success and I have to applaud the class for this today. We are immensely looking forward to tonight’s Arts night.
