Well I just returned from a 48 hour retreat with the CFCA Senior Class. 29 students. 13 Girls. I was the only female chaperone. I'm freaking tired. But I love these kids. ( i call them kids...I'm a whole 5 years older than they are...) I'm going to lead the girls in a Bible study on sunday nights. right now they are all excited about it; please pray that as the school year goes on, they would be faithful in coming. Pray that I would know how to lead them.
Baby News: I'm at the end of my first trimester. Praise God that the nausea is subsiding. I have a doctor's appt. monday afterschool and i think we should be able to hear the baby's heartbeat. crazy. we have pretty much decided that we want to be surprised when it comes to the gender. and i dont think we are gonna tell anyone any what names we pick out. For now, you can just call the baby "Old Rugged." Get It? (thats for you bethany).
Those of you that took a high school drama class- what was the best thing you remember doing in class? I only have like 7 kids in each class, which is kinda challenging for me. But its no where as bad as the 2 I have in Speech. I really want them to have fun and learn crap, so i'm taking all the advice i can get. So think back, and let me know what you remember. But only the good stuff. hey, my high school drama teacher started dating a student, so i know i'm better than that guy.

Anything that helps you think on your feet. Improvisation. Making up scenes on the spot. All of that is very helpful for actors. if they are mature, making them do a lot of monologues is great. Don't let them get away with not learning lines! Have them learn and do scenes quick then move on. The more the better.
The activity where you're doing a made up scene and freeze and a person or two takes your place is good example, but very common. you probly did it.
the Viola Spolin book on improving has a lot of examples.
