Greetings my weird and wonderfuls,
Today was an interesting day of note-taking, wasn't it? Well, remember to ice down your hands, and stop complaining! :P
Your homework for today is taking notes from pages 138-141 in your textbook.
Meanwhile, we're having an interesting day tomorrow: For those of you who are emerging drama queens and kings (You know who you are :) ), tomorrow will be your day to shine! We're having a "creative presentation day" (Skits day!!) Check out the assignment details below:
1920s Creative Presentations – Skit!
Assume you are a young person living in the 1920s. I want you to create a skit with your partner on one of the following topics. Use expressions from the era, and have some fun with your story but keep it polite. Read over all the expressions first, and then plan your skit in rough. I’m a big fan of funny and interesting, so use that to your advantage!
Length – Three to five minutes
Ideas- You are…
- On your first trip to a speakeasy
- In the big city for the first time
- On a first date with someone you’ve been wanting to go out with for a long time.
- A witness to a bank robbery or other major crime
- Attending a fancy party.
- A rumrunner in Windsor
- A bootlegger making a sale
- An old person talking about the horse versus the car
- Debating the benefits and problems of country life and city life
Good Luck!
Rubric, handout and marking scheme to follow tomorrow!
