Thanks to Kenny Foster at West for this great blog post! Don’t ever let anyone convince you that the library/media center can’t benefit every class in the school! We have always tried to help our Advanced Theatre class. We have helped them with researching monologues and researching costume style from previous eras, but we really got a chance to work with them in a fun and meaningful way this semester!. Our new theatre teacher, Mrs. Quick, assigned each student a character. The students had to identify with the character, dress like the character, speak like the character, and take on the character’s persona for an entire school day. With the approval of administration and help from the faculty, each student was graded based on how he/she stayed in character throughout the day. How did the media center help? We decided that a little green screen fun was appropriate for the occasion. We did our homework by locating free (public domain) backgrounds that were specific to each character. In addition to being fun, it was a great way to remind everyone about copyright laws and the beauty of public domain and fair use. Below, you will see some of the final products from the project.
