Intro to Theatre and Theatre 1 are both SEMESTER based classes. Students will only have theatre half of the year.
Intro to Theatre
Intro to Theatre
This 18 week class is for sixth grade only. It is designed to give students a taste of what theatre arts is like. Students will act, design and discover the world of theatre. Half of the class is focused on-stage and half of the class is "behind the scenes" work.
Theatre I
Theatre I
This 18 week class is acting focused. All students in this course will produce a class play, which will perform at the end of the semester. There are limited technical roles available for the play, but all students are expected to act in this course. (I promise, I'll ease you into it!)

50% Rehearsal and Daily Work
50% Performances and Projects
Rehearsal and Daily Work
We work daily towards achieving a greater goal, whether that is a performance or a different type of project. In a theatre class, one must participate fully to learn. Points can be deducted from this daily grade for being unprepared, making the decision to not participate in an activity, not following directions, and otherwise not adhering to set classroom expectations. Rehearsal grades are NOT affected by absences and grading will adhere to all IEPs, BIPs, and 504 plans and paperwork on a student by student basis.
Performances and Projects
"Tablework" is a theatre concept referring to the behind the scenes work done to prepare for a performance. Translated into the classroom, this category includes all research work done for a project and all written work in class. Quizzes are included in this category as well. Areas that may affect grades include professionalism, quality of content, adherence to standards, and organization
Performances and projects are graded on rubrics that vary based on the end educational goal of the work. Rubrics typically include, but are not limited to, theatrical concepts such as characterization, enunciation and diction, neatness, memorization, accuracy of information, and technical aspects.
Late Work
Late Work
Late written work will be accepted without penalty by 5:00 PM on the due date. After the due date, the grade is capped at a 70 until after five school days.
Make-up Work
Make-up Work
Per school policy, students will have one day per each day missed to complete missed work. Students are urged to contact the teacher as soon as possible to discuss any extenuating circumstances and develop a plan for successful learning. If a student is absent on a performance day, he or she may be able to perform on the first day they return.
