At Home with Stage One - Western Canada Theatre - Drama Games
Western Canada Theatre is releasing some great Drama games that can be played at home with your family!
I will put up a new one each week, as they become available.
This is a Participation Only activity - no need to send in Video or a Picture unless you wish to.
But please DO take time to TELL ME HOW IT WENT! What was the most fun (funny?) part of your story that you came up with? Was it easy? Challenging? Do you think it would make a good REAL play if you wrote a script on it?
Send me your experience through my Submission Page, or through your Google Classroom assignment page.

Earth Day Play - DramaFor this project, your challenge is to create a short play in honour of Earth Day.
TOPIC: It could be an instructional video to people on how to recycle, a play about taking care of the Earth, A documentary about all the wonderful things we can find on Earth, a play with Nature as the good guy and Pollution as the bad guy, or an advertisement about a new device that helps clean up the Earth, or even just a walk through the Nature around you (you could pretend you're a tour guide). Anything! MEDIUM: You can videotape you and your family in the acting roles, you could use toys or stuffies as the "actors", or do stop motion with toys or even drawings! You could even just write a script for a play if you don't feel like acting it out. See your Google Classroom for further instructions. You can submit your work through there or through Flipgrid. |

Phonetic Punctuation - Victor Borge - an exercise in voice projection
|
Victor Borge was a Danish Comedian, Conductor, and Pianist who achieved great popularity in radio and television in Europe and North America. His blend of music and comedy earned him the Nickname of "The Clown Prince of Denmark".
One of Borge's famous routines was "Phonetic Punctuation," in which he read a passage from a book and added exaggerated sound effects to stand for all of the punctuation marks, such as periods, commas, and exclamation marks. Watch the video to the Right to learn about and hear his "Phonetic Punctuation" in action! |
|
|
Project - What to do:
For this project, simply read a passage of writing from a book of your choice using Borge's Phonetic Puncuation. To see how he added in actions to his Punctuation (and a little music!), watch the video to the Right here. When you have your routine down pat, record it and send it through your Google Classroom assignment (or using Flipgrid! Check it out via Google Classroom), or to Mrs. Phillips at: lphillips@sd73.bc.ca |

Drama Notebook - Free Online Plays!
The Drama Notebook website is offering FREE links to watch a variety of Online Plays (theatrical performances). One of your assignments is to watch one of these plays (I would suggest "Free Plays for Children" or "Free Plays for Middle School" for your age group, but you are welcome to watch any:) Please see the assignment in your Google Classroom for the questions that you will need to answer afterwards. |
